Mr. Phillip Richardson read Ezra1 vs1-4, Isaiah 44 vs.21- 45 vs.6 and Daniel1 vs.17-21.
He began by emphasising the authenticity of the Bible from cover to cover as the inspired and literal Word of God.
He went on to explain how that sin came into the world and that the wages of sin is death, which means eternal torment in Hell. BUT Jesus is God's Son who was born of a virgin, died on a cross, rose again and ascended back to heaven. We can find peace with God through faith in Jesus Christ.
Phillip then went on to tell us about Cyrus the great king of Persia and pointed out the comparisons between Jesus Christ and Cyrus.
He was named before His birth.
He was used by God to save His people.
He was called a shepherd.
He was anointed.
God's plan was already in place before ruin.
He then spoke about how that God controls nations and kings and that God is always in control, but even though He is so great He cares for us and He spared not His only Son who died for us, "if God be for us who can be against us."
Daniel was in the right place at the right time and Phillip put this forward as a suggestion that Daniel could have been there advising Cyrus about letting the people go according to Isaiah's prophecy.
We can make a difference and God can use us for His purposes, "that the scripture might be fulfilled."
We can put our trust in the Almighty God for Salvation.
