Use the Texas illustration to show the improbability that these prophecies were fulfilled by chance. In the space below, record his/her reactions.

B. Share the following illustration with the same unbeliever: A prognosticator predicted 50 things about you. They all came true except one. The last one was conditional: If you drive down a certain street on a certain day, you will die in a fiery car crash. Would you drive down that street? In light of the fact that Jesus fulfilled at least 49 prophecies of the Bible (they all came true), are you going to ignore one more prophecy that says that if you don’t receive Jesus, you will be separated from God forever?
