Who is Like Thee?

“See, I am coming to dwell among you, says the Lord.” Zechariah 2:10



Who is like our God? He came down as a human being to save us because He loves us! He is not lofty, and He certainly does not look down on us from His high throne in the heavens. 

He speaks to us, and desires to have a relationship with us. He did everything so that we would get to know Him. He gave us the Bible so we could read His story, His love affair with us, how He calls us to be His people. He provided His Holy Spirit so we could get to really know Him, and talk to Him. 

Isaiah 41:22-23, we can read, “Present your case," says the LORD. "Set forth your arguments," says Jacob's King.”Bring in [your idols] to tell us what is going to happen. Tell us what the former things were, so that we may consider them and know their final outcome. Or declare to us the things to come,tell us what the future holds, so we may know that you are gods.” Is there any other god who foretold the future? There are so many prophecies in the Old Testament. 

There are at least 333 prophecies concerning Christ. Two computer scientists in the University of Oregon ran this problem through the computer. The odds against one man fulfilling these 333 prophecies were 67 to the 10th degree, a figure so astronomical that it approached infinity. The odds of one man fulfilling only 8 of those prophecies is only 1 in 10 to the 17th power.  That’s 1 in 100, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000!
