4. Now read John 1:29-30 and compare that with
John 1:14-15. Who is the Word?
5. When did Jesus exist? (see John 1:1)
6. Why was Jesus called the “Son of God” according to Luke 1:35?
7. The Jews were angry with Jesus because He said He was God (John 10:33). So He asked
them a question (John 10:36). According to Jesus, what does the term Son of God mean?
8. What is the ultimate proof that Jesus is divine (Matt. 28:6-7)?
Jesus becoming man. In the Old Testament, God placed numerous predictions about
the coming of Messiah, or the Christ, hundreds and even thousands of years before Jesus Christ would appear.
The most significant one is found in Daniel 9:25-27 where we find a prediction that Messiah would die after
March 29 A.D. 33. Jesus died on April 3 A.D. 33. In Isaiah 9:6-7 we are told that a child would be born and
He would be the Mighty God. So shall we look at some of the other predictions? In the table below you will
find 11 Old Testament predictions and New Testament fulfillments. Read each passage and in the empty space
