                  The Life And Ministry Of Jesus Christ

      1. The first glimpse of Gods redemptive plan is found in Genesis
        3:15. Make at least four observations on this passage.

 

          This first prophecy about the coming of the Messiah is placed into
          the language of descent, or ‘seed’, and shows that He would come
          through the woman Eve. It is a broad prediction of the Messiah’s
          coming through the human race.Throughout the rest of the Old
          Testament the prophecies narrow down from His coming through the

          The prophet was one who was a speaker for God, and when God spoke
          through His servants the prophets..He validated their ministry
          through the fulfillment of short-range prophecies. (Jer 28:9)

          Because their short range prophecies had been fulfilled as predicted,
