Today we see that Christ is the fulfillment of all things. Luke 20:40-49 tells us that three aspects are need for things to be fulfilled. First us the suffering of Jesus on the cross to the point of death. The second aspect is the resurrection of Jesus. The third aspect in the proclamation of the death and resurrection Jesus . When all three of these aspects connect we have fulfillment of God’s will for us?

The text says it all. Then Jesus said to them,

“These are my words that I spoke to you while I was still with you, that everything written about me in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms must be fulfilled.” 45 Then he opened their minds to understand the Scriptures, 46 and said to them, “Thus it is written, that the Christ should suffer and on the third day rise from the dead, 47 and that repentance for the forgiveness of sins should be proclaimed in his name to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem. 48 You are witnesses of these things. 49 And behold, I am sending the promise of my Father upon you. But stay in the city until you are clothed with power from on high.”
