Jesus Christ the Fulfilment of Prophecy: Over 300 Promises Kept in Him
So all this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying: “Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel,” which is translated, “God with us.” – Matthew 1:22-23
Another interesting fact we need to note about Jesus is the number of prophecies that He alone fulfilled. He was an embodiment of prophecies through and through.
Scholars claim that He alone fulfilled approximately 300 prophecies made at different times in the Old Testament, some of which were made thousands and hundreds of years before He was even born.
The predictions made about Jesus dated back to the Garden of Eden when God proclaimed that the Seed of the woman would bruise the head of the serpent. Subsequent encounters between God and His people have also led to references to His coming or His activities on earth, even though the full extent of His mandate has been misunderstood to date by those of His earthly race and those millions of others who claim to follow Him. Notwithstanding, the number of foretells about Him alone is stupendous, and no other person in history commanded such spotlights as Him.
That is why the Scripture says, all the promises of God in Him are both ‘Yes’ and ‘Amen’ (2 Corinthians 1:20), because He fulfils them all.
For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord as the waters cover the sea. – Habakkuk 2:14

The Origin of Jesus – Conception through Supra-Radioactive Technology
Now the birth of Jesus Christ was as follows: After His mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Spirit. – Matthew 1:18
Although He was born to a woman, Jesus was not conceived through a natural or biological means. Further, His pregnancy was not conceived like any other pregnancy on earth. In this tech age, His conception can best be described as a consequence of a supra-nuclear or radioactive technology. The kind of innovation that is not yet known to earth or accessible to science.
Read the description below, as His mother was being informed what would happen to her:
And the angel answered and said to her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Highest will overshadow you; therefore, also, that Holy One who is to be born will be called the Son of God. – Luke 1:35
This passage attests to the point that the conception of Jesus occurred through a highly advanced technology, which resulted from a dynamic combination of the descent of the Holy Spirit upon Mary and her being encapsulated by the power of God. There is no record of anyone being born in this manner before Jesus or after Him, despite the vast advancements in science and technology in modern times.
And while there has been significant progress in this age that has led to nuclear or radioactive medicine, a highly specialized field that uses a modicum of radioactive materials to diagnose and treat various medical conditions, it has not advanced to the height of pregnancy conception as described in the above passage.
Therefore, Jesus remains the only person ever conceived through this means because He is of God. The interesting thing is that God has proven to be above all in the business of creation. While Eve remains the one and only human ever to be cloned into existence [please read How God Creates: Creating by Extraction], Jesus also remains the only one ever to be conceived through a nuclear means.
For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord as the waters cover the sea. – Habakkuk 2:14

The Imperfect Genealogy of Jesus Christ – Lessons from His Lineage
Abraham begot Isaac, Isaac begot Jacob, and Jacob begot Judah and his brothers. Judah begot Perez and Zerah by Tamar, Perez begot Hezron, and Hezron begot Ram. Ram begot Amminadab, Amminadab begot Nahshon, and Nahshon begot Salmon. Salmon begot Boaz by Rahab, Boaz begot Obed by Ruth, Obed begot Jesse, and Jesse begot David the king. David the king begot Solomon by her who had been the wife of Uriah. – Matthew 1:2-6
Even though He came into the world through a virgin birth and He lived a pure life all through His 33 years on earth, Jesus nevertheless did not have a similar stainless origin.
By the mere fact of coming to earth through a biological process, it is already predisposed that He was bound to have imperfections in His background because the earth, this hemisphere where we humans exist, is only inhabited by imperfect people. There is no perfect person living or who has lived on earth. No, not one. Incidentally, only Jesus Himself had the singular honor of living without sinning. Every other person who had lived before or after Him had failed and fallen at some point in their evolution as a human being.
That is why it is not surprising that in the lineage of Jesus were recorded such social maladies as incest, prostitution, outcast, generational curse, confusion, murder, and adultery. In fact, every time a woman was mentioned in His genealogy as seen in Matthew 1:2 16, it was because there were some abnormalities surrounding the referenced women.
The first woman so referenced was Tamar, who had to sleep with her father-in-law in order to have her own children after the death of her husband. The next woman was Rahab, a very well-known prostitute and a heathen, who nonetheless made enough of an impression on Salmon and gave birth to Boaz for him. Boaz himself followed his father’s footsteps by marrying Ruth, a Moabitess, an accursed tribe, not to mention that Moab itself was a product of incest between father and daughter.
Finally, and perhaps more shocking, was the involvement of David, a great king, the sweet psalmist of Israel and a man after God’s own heart, who had an adulterous affair with the wife of one of his warriors and had the husband killed at the battlefront when he discovered the woman was pregnant.
This, with some confusion thrown into the mix as to which of David’s sons Jesus actually came from, whether it is the womanizing Solomon (Matthew 1) or the unknown Nathan (Luke 3:23-38), adds to the imperfections in the origin of Jesus Christ.
But, through all this, God is perhaps teaching us a lesson we have often heard but do not seem to have imbibed as evidenced in our reactions to scandals or someone’s fall, that imperfections are the mosaic He uses to weave a great destiny as well as accomplish great things on the earth.
For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord as the waters cover the sea. – Habakkuk 2:14

The Origin of Jesus Christ: Tracing His Lineage to David and Abraham
The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the Son of David, the Son of Abraham. – Matthew 1:1
While we generally accept Jesus Christ as the incarnate Son of God who came to the earth to fulfill the important mission of redemption and reconciling humankind back with God in a father-child relationship, just as God intended right from the beginning, it is also important to note that Jesus would not have been able to accomplish His mission on earth if He hadn’t come in human form.
It takes an earthling to dwell on the earth. For the duration of time He had to live to complete His assignment on earth, Jesus essentially needed to operate in a human form, even though He was divinity and of God. And, since being an earthling requires traceability, Jesus had to come to earth through the lineage of David, of the tribe of Judah, with Abraham as His earthly ancestor.
That is why, even though there were several generations between Abraham and David, as well as David and Jesus, the writer of the gospel in our reference passage today highlighted the three of them first as the most prominent in their genealogy: Abraham, the ancestor; David, the father; and Jesus, the Son. That is why Jesus was sometimes addressed as the Son of David by people in His time, because He came from a prominent family tree, the lineage of David, an illustrious king in ancient Israel, and someone attested by God as a man after His own heart [1 Samuel 13:14].
To be continued…
For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord as the waters cover the sea. – Habakkuk 2:14

Who is Jesus Christ: Knowing Jesus Christ – Origin, Mission, and True Teachings
You worship what you do not know; we know what we worship, for salvation is of the Jews. – John 4:22
We have spent some time in the past week exploring the influence and impact of the Lord, Jesus Christ. From this point onward, we shall dive deeply into the real business of what this particular series of Daily Dew Spotlights is all about, understanding the origin, personality, mission, purpose, teachings, likes, and dislikes of Jesus Christ.
This exploration is very crucial because God commanded it. The truth is, God is not too pleased about the way He and His Son, Jesus Christ, are being portrayed by some clergy and perceived by the laity, respectively. While this has been an agelong problem, dating back to the days when Jesus Himself was on earth, God has, nevertheless, always sent witnesses who would testify to their true nature.
You may consider this website one of the witnesses through which God chose to reveal His true nature and that of His Son, Jesus Christ, to this generation.
Again, God and Jesus have been grossly misrepresented by some anointed ministers who were entrusted with His oracle. But the greater culprits of this misrepresentation are those who called themselves to ministry, either due to economic exigency, greed, ignorance of their true calling, or pressure of various kinds.
It is not everyone who was ordained as, or is being called, a priest, pastor, bishop, archbishop, apostle, evangelist, et cetera that God reckons with as one. And the fact that many of these officials put forth doctrines that are not grounded in the Bible or have divine validation is causing ignorance to proliferate across the world.
While we shall not dwell on specifics of the false doctrines and dogmatic theories that are out there, we shall, however, use this devotional to highlight biblical truths about Jesus Christ, His teachings, and His ways as empirically evidenced in the Holy Bible, starting with the synoptic gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.
It promises to be another interesting journey of enlightenment. So be sure to subscribe to the website so that you are served the dews as we publish them.
For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord as the waters cover the sea. – Habakkuk 2:14

Jesus Christ and the Arts
In continuation of our thoughts yesterday, Jesus Christ has not only touched hearts through preaching and miracles but has also inspired stories, poems, films, and even everyday symbols that remind us of His love. From ancient writings to modern creativity, Christ remains the center of countless works of art that point people back to Him.
Jesus in Literature
The Bible itself is the greatest book ever written, showing us the life, teachings, and sacrifice of Jesus. Many other writers have followed, using their words to share His truth.
The Bible tells of Christ’s birth, miracles, parables, and His death on the cross for our salvation.
C.S. Lewis in The Chronicles of Narnia used stories and allegory to help readers see Christ through the lion Aslan, who gives His life for others.
Many modern Christian authors continue to write novels, poetry, and devotionals that point people to Jesus.
Jesus in Film
Movies have become another way to tell the story of Christ and remind us of His sacrifice for humankind.
The Passion of the Christ shows the final hours of Jesus’ life, His suffering, and His death on the cross. It helps us reflect on His love and salvation.
Jesus Christ Superstar uses music and theatre to retell the story of Christ in a fresh way, showing His struggles and His mission.
The truth is, through film, people who may never open a Bible have the opportunity to hear about and continue to hear about Jesus.
Symbols of Christ
Simple symbols have carried the name of Jesus across generations.
The Cross is the most powerful reminder of His death and resurrection. Every time we see it, we remember the price He paid for us.
The Fish (Ichthys) was used by the early Christians to secretly recognize one another. The word itself means “Jesus Christ, Son of God, Savior.”
These symbols are another way Jesus has immensely influenced global culture across the ages, as they continue to remind us of who He is.
Jesus in Modern Art
Even today, artists create new ways to show the love of Christ.
Salvador Dalí’s “Christ of Saint John of the Cross” offers a dramatic picture of Jesus on the cross, helping viewers reflect on the mystery of His sacrifice.
In street art and digital media, artists bring the message of Christ into public spaces and modern culture, making His story visible to new generations.
Whether through books, movies, symbols, or modern paintings, Jesus Christ continues to inspire and wax influence. The arts remind us that His story never grows old, but rather that it speaks to every age, every culture, and every heart that is open to receive Him.
For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord as the waters cover the sea. – Habakkuk 2:14
