(2Ti 1:9) “Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began, (10) But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ,…..” God’s plan from eternity past was hid in the midst of Old Testament history, imagery, and prophecy. Man had gleaned bits and pieces, but the coming of God to earth in the person of Jesus brought the shadow to full daylight. Praise God for Jesus, the cross, and the resurrection!
