They Knew He Was Coming
MAY 20, 2026
Daily Reading—1 Kings 8 / John 5:28-47
WHAT GOD HAS SAID:
John 4:25-26 The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things. Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he.
WHAT I HAVE SEEN:
People often wonder about salvation in the Old Testament compared with salvation in the New Testament. It is really the same thing. Salvation is by faith in Christ, no matter when you are saved. Today, we look back to the cross of Calvary and Christ, the Messiah, who died for us there. The people of the Old Testament looked to a coming Messiah, as we see by the woman at the well’s statement to Jesus.
They knew He was coming because their scriptures had told them so. We know He is coming again because of the same truths written for us in God’s Word. They were waiting, watching, and looking for His appearance.
WHAT WILL YOU DO:
Are we looking for Him to come?
