Jesus purpose in being born at Christmas was to die for the sins of the world at Easter. Pastor Carl shares a few Old Testament prophesies fulfilled by Jesus surrounding His crucifixion. Hundreds of years before it happened, Zechariah prophesied about the desolation of Israel because of the wicked shepherds paying for a prophesy they wanted rejecting the Messiah. Jesus the Messiah was also falsely accused, silent before His accusers, struck by His accusers, crucified with criminals, given vinegar and gall, His hand and feet pierced, and His garments gambled away.
