In The Bible
Is Jesus the Messiah?
Answer 1 Yes. One reason so many think this is so, is because of the manyMessianic prophecies He explicitly fulfilled. Some have calculatedthe statistical possibility of some…one fulfilling these aspractically nil, unless they were the actual person of course. Itwould have been impossible for a usurper to engineer things outsideof their control, such as where they were to be born and how theywere to die for example. Answer 2 Yes. He is real and will come soon for the day of judgement. Ourcountry was built on God. Answer 3 The requirements that the credentials would have to matchwere set out in many Bible prophecies written centuries beforehand.They foretold in minute detail the manner of the Messiah's coming,the nature of his ministry, his suffering at the hands of others,and the type of death he would experience. You may be interested inknowing that those reliable prophecies also foretold hisresurrection, his exaltation to the right hand of God, and finallythe blessings his future Kingdom rule would bring. In this way,Bible prophecies provided a unique pattern that might be likened toa fingerprint, which can identify only one person. Of course, when Jesus appeared on the scene in 29 C.E., not allMessianic prophecies were fulfilled then and there. For example, hehad not yet been put to death and resurrected. Nevertheless,Andrew, Philip, and many others put faith in Jesus because of whathe taught and did. They saw abundant proof that he was, in fact,the Messiah. If you had lived back then and could have studied theevidence firsthand with an open mind, you too would probably havebeen convinced that Jesus was the Messiah. (MORE)
