Not Just Jesus the Wise-Talking Parable Dude, but Jesus the Christ

Since Easter is approaching (and Passover is upon us), I thought I'd casually mention that Jesus fulfilled more than 300 Old Testament prophecies about the coming messiah...most Christians probably don't even know that, thanks to the sorry state of biblical literacy in the church these days. It's to our shame, really.

But, thanks to the Internet, handy collections of such knowledge are often just a click away. For example, this site lists those prophecies and their fulfillment, and as a bonus, points to other sources that explain in plain English other topics such as biblical archaeology, the Dead Sea Scrolls, and the origin of the Bible.

Undeniably, Jesus' greatest miracle was when he tied his ass to a tree and walked five miles into Jerusalem.
