Matthew 26:54<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHow then could the Scriptures be fulfilled, that it must happen thus?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Our greatest ambition should be to fulfill the Scriptures. The Word of God is fixed and permanent and what greater privilege can there be than to fulfill the Scriptures written from ancient times. The truth is, Scriptures will be fulfilled with or without us, but it is such a great honor and privilege to be the one involves in fulfilling scriptures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It may cost us dearly to fulfill Scriptures, but our joy should be that God\u2019s prophesied Word became a reality because of our involvement. For Jesus, this was all that mattered. It wasn\u2019t the painful process that mattered to Him. All that mattered to Him was that God was satisfied to see His Word become a reality. Let this likewise be our greatest joy and ambition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cFather, this is my earnest cry. May I only live to fulfill Scriptures. All that is written in the Scriptures must be fulfilled and may You have mercy on me, and use me to make eternal Scriptures a reality in my generation. In Jesus name, I pray. Amen.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Matthew 26:54 \u201cHow then could the Scriptures be fulfilled, that it must happen thus?\u201d Our greatest ambition should be to fulfill the Scriptures.
