Fulfilment of Scripture
Text: John 13: 18-19
FULFILMENT OF SCRIPTURE
There are many reasons why we want to read the Scriptures. One of the most amazing things about Scripture is that the prophetic truths contained therein will be fulfilled.
“I do not speak concerning all of you, I know whom I have chosen; But that the Scripture might be fulfilled. ‘He who eats bread with Me has lifted up his heel against Me.’ Now I tell you before it comes, that when it does come to pass, You may believe that I am He.
John 13:18-19
1. “I do not speak concerning all of you”
a. Not all the disciples would listen and take heed
b. Not all of them would be the Lord’s servant
c. Not all of them would apply this lesson on humility
2. “I know whom I have chosen”
a. Jesus knew that Judas would betray Him one day
b. Nevertheless, He had invited him to be among the Twelve
c. That was so very gracious of the Lord
3. “That the Scripture might be fulfilled”
a. This portion of Scripture
b. This was taken from Psalm 41:9
4. “He who eats bread with Me has lifted up his heel against Me.”
a. In Psalm 41:9 this person was described as a “friend”
b. Jesus offered Judas the hand of friendship
c. He had the privilege of eating with the Lord every day for three years
d. Yet he spurned the friendship Jesus extended to him
e. To lift up the heel against Jesus
i. This was nasty and rude
ii. It was wicked
5. “You may believe that I am He”
a. Jesus foretold the betrayal of Judas before it happened
b. The Disciples would in time come to believe in the Lord even more firmly

圣经的应验
我们阅读圣经的理由有很多。圣经最奇妙的其中一点就是预言都会被应验。
“我这话不是指着你们众人说的，我知道我所拣选的是谁。现在要应验经上的话说：‘同我吃饭的人用脚踢我。’如今事情还没有成就，我要先告诉你们，叫你们到事情成就的时候，可以信我是基督。”
《约翰福音 13：18-19》
