Kerr's Korner
Fulfilled
By John Kerr
Here is a definition of the word “fulfilled” in the Bible: the completion or realization of a promise, prophecy, or divine purpose, often illustrating God's faithfulness and sovereignty. These are some examples of this important concept in Matthew:
1: 22All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: 23“The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel” —which means, “God with us.”
2: 15And so was fulfilled what the Lord had said through the prophet: “Out of Egypt I called my son.”
2: 17Then what was said through the prophet Jeremiah was fulfilled:
18“A voice is heard in Ramah,
weeping and great mourning,
Rachel weeping for her children
and refusing to be comforted,
because they are no more.”
2: 23and he went and lived in a town called Nazareth. So was fulfilled what was said through the prophets: “He will be called a Nazarene.”
3: 15Jesus replied, “Let it be so now; it is proper for us to do this to fulfill all righteousness.”
4: 13Leaving Nazareth, he went and lived in Capernaum, which was by the lake in the area of Zebulun and Naphtali— 14to fulfill what was said through the prophet Isaiah:
15“Land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali,
the way to the sea, along the Jordan,
Galilee of the Gentiles—
16the people living in darkness
have seen a great light;
This is a smattering of this study. I hope it will whet your appetite for more. I encourage you to carefully study this word that appears more than fifty times in the New Testament.
