Growing up, my grandmother used to tell stories, including ones about predictions. I’d always wonder: Can someone really foresee the future?
Reading about Jesus’s prophesied birth reminded me of these tales. The Bible speaks of his birth in a specific village out of the entire vast world. It’s like pinpointing one shining grain on a huge beach.
Many scriptures have predictions, but the details about Jesus’s life, told way before his arrival, feels unique.
My grandmother once said, “Belief is sometimes about feeling, not just seeing.” The prophecies about Jesus feel this way to me – deep and resonating.
While not everyone might believe in such predictions, they push us to listen closely and let our hearts decide what feels true.
