Let’s add verse 21 & 22: “Now the one who confirms us, is God; He has also sealed us and given us the Spirit as a down payment in our hearts.” 2 Corinthians 1: 21-22
And now, let’s get to our story: “The Promise” (*a) , a fulfillment of prophecy spanning over two thousand years! (*a – See Jeremiah , chapters 30 & 31)

“He removed a scroll from one of the shelves in the Chamber of Scrolls, place it on the wooden table, and unrolled it.
“Thousands of years ago,” said the teacher, “God gave a prophecy to the Jewish people. They would be taken captive from their homeland, scattered to the nations, and driven from one land to the next, to the ends of the earth. And it all came true. For the last two thousand years the Jewish people have been wandering the earth, from nation to nation. But He gave them a promise: At the end of the age He would gather them from the nations and bring them back to the land of Israel. So it is written in the Book of Jeremiah, ‘I will bring them from the land of the north and gather them from the ends of the earth, among them the blind and the lame, the woman with child, and the one who is in labor together.’ It was an impossibility. In all of human history nothing like this had ever happened before. And few believed it ever could.”
“Even those who read the Bible?” “Most had convinced themselves that God was finished with the Jewish people. And most Jewish people didn’t think they would ever live to see the prophecies come true. For two thousand years the land of Israel was in the hands of their enemies or in the hands of those who had no intention of giving it back. And the Jewish people were overwhelmingly powerless. But God said it would happen. The promise was inscribed in His Word. And despite all the powers and all the odds against it, after two thousand years of impossibility, in the midst of a secular and cynical age, God fulfilled the prophecy and His promise. He gathered His ancient people back from the ends of the earth and brought them back to their ancient homeland, the blind and the lame, the woman with child, a great multitude… as a shepherd gathers his flock.”
He closed the scroll.
“You see,” said the teacher, “between the Word and the world, it was again the Word that was the more real and more true. And between the promise and the hell that came against it, it was the promise that was the stronger, Never forget that. His Word is true, truer than the world, and His promise is sure, and stronger than all that come against it. And if after two thousand years God remembered His promise to fulfill it, He will also remember His promises to you.”
The Mission: Today, find a promise in the Word of God that applies to you and stand on it, believe it, and live this day in light of it.
Jeremiah 30 – 31; 2 Corinthians 1:20.
