That the Writings of the Prophets May Be Fulfilled

From my personal devotional this morning (Matthew 26 from Moody's Today in the Word series), I was struck by how Jesus deliberately chose to endure the betrayal and suffering of the cross. In the midst of it, he would occasionally comment "this must be done to fulfill the writings of the prophets." What truly struck me was that he cares very much that the words of the prophets be fulfilled---and this will apply to His Second Coming, as well. Let the world call me a fool, but I believe this. I know Him and trust His words enough to know that He will do exactly what He says He will do.
