The Gospel of Luke tells us that Mary asked the angel how this could be, seeing she had not had intercourse with any man. Seven and a half centuries later, a young virgin in Israel named Mary was visited by the angel Gabriel, who announced to her that she would bear a Son. Twentieth-century archaeological discoveries of hundreds of ancient Old Testament manuscripts have proven without a doubt that these prophecies were indeed written centuries before Jesus was born. In the first books of the Bible, over 300 such predictions about the 'Messiah' or 'Savior' can be found. Made by ancient prophets and seers-many of them centuries before He was born-these prophecies gave specific details regarding His birth, life, and death that no mere mortal could possibly have fulfilled.
One very outstanding and undeniably unique aspect of Jesus' life is that it fulfilled literally hundreds of predictions and prophecies written in the Bible. For unlike the other great religious teachers who came before or after Him, Jesus not only spoke about love and God, but He was love and He was the Son of God! In a way, He was all of these, but much more. WHAT MAKES HIM DIFFERENT FROM THE OTHER GREAT RELIGIOUS TEACHERS, PROPHETS OR PHILOSOPHERS? Jesus was no ordinary man, nor was He merely a great teacher, rabbi, guru, or even a prophet. And the influence He has had on the World is unsurpassed by any other. The claims He made regarding Himself were unique. If any adjective were to describe Jesus, it would be 'UNIQUE'! -His message was unique.
