Rhapsody of Realities Today 4 June 2025 Devotional MESSAGE:
Pst Chris
Everything about the Lord Jesus was prophesied ahead of time: His birth, His life, His death, burial, resurrection, and His glorious ascension to heaven. No wonder He said, “… Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God” (Hebrews 10:7). His crucifixion, for example, was prophesied a thousand years beforehand. The psalmist gave such a beautiful description of it in Psalm 22 (read the entire reference).

The Prophet Zachariah also prophesied about His death in Zechariah 12:10, saying, “…and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him….” This prophecy foretold the piercing of Jesus’ hands and feet, which happened during His crucifixion.
Furthermore, Psalm 16:10 tells us about His resurrection, saying, “For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.” When Jesus died on the Cross, He went to hell because every sinner who died was supposed to go to hell, and Jesus bore the sins of the whole world.
However, in hell, He defeated the devil and the demons of darkness and came triumphantly back to life. Jonah’s experience also foreshadowed His resurrection. Jonah 1:17 says, “… And Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.” The Lord Jesus referenced this in Matthew 12:40 NIV, declaring, “For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of a huge fish, so the Son of Man will be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.”
Psalm 110:1 is prophetic of His exaltation; it says, “The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.” The Lord Jesus affirmed that this prophecy referred to Himself: “While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them, Saying, What think ye of Christ? whose son is he? They say unto him, The Son of David. He saith unto them, How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying, The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool? If David then call him Lord, how is he his son?” (Matthew 22:41-45).
These prophecies and their fulfilment are essential to understanding the things Jesus said about His death and resurrection. They authenticate the truth that He’s indeed the Son of God—God in human flesh—as Romans 1:4 tells us. It says Jesus is declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead. Blessed be God!
Prayer / Confession
Dear Father, I acknowledge the undeniable proof of your love demonstrated through the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Thank you for the victory He wrought for us, and for making us triumphant in Him. I live in the reality of His finished works, proclaiming His Lordship and righteousness to the ends of the earth. Hallelujah!

Psalm 22:14-16 NIV
14 I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint. My heart has turned to wax; it has melted within me.
15 My mouth is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth; you lay me in the dust of death.
16 Dogs surround me, a pack of villains encircles me; they pierce my hands and my feet.
Isaiah 53:5: But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.
Matthew 28:5-6
5 The angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified.
6 He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay.
