The word "messiah" is used four times in the standard Christian Bible, two times in the Old Testament prophecies of Daniel and two times in the New Testament.
It is the two incidences in the New Testament that identify Jesus as the Messiah.
John 1:41-42 says that Christ is the Messiah.
In John 4: 25-26, Jesus declares Himself to be the Messiah.
No Jesus was not "named" the messiah, he WAS the messiah, he was "named" Jesus.
In the Bible it says that that Jesus is God. He is three in one. Father, Son, Holy Spirit. So, yes he is the Messiah and Jesus is God!
The theme of Matthew is Jesus the Messiah and the theme of Mark is Jesus the Wonderful.
The Christian believes that the Messiah that was predicted in the Old Testament to come into the world came approximately 2000 years ago and was named Jesus (Jesus the Christ or Messiah). He is the Son of God and the Savior of any one who accepts Him as their Savior.
Moses: As the Lawgiver. Jesus: As the Messiah. John the Baptist:As the Herald of the Messiah. Enosh: An ancient Prophet. Adam: The first man.
Because they believe that Jesus Christ is the Messiah and the Son of God as the Bible says.
Jesus Christ is the Messiah.
Yes, Jesus is the Messiah!
In the Bible, Simeon was the man in the temple who recognized Jesus as the Messiah when he was presented by Mary and Joseph at the temple in Jerusalem. Simeon had been told by the Holy Spirit that he would not die before seeing the Messiah, and he blessed Jesus and proclaimed him as the Savior.
There are several signs of the coming Messiah within the Torah and the Christian Bible. However, Jewish people do not believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. And whether they believe he was at least a prophet varies from each denomination. Jews still wait for the Messiah to come, though Christians believe that they will not be able to go to Heaven without Jesus as their savior. In the Torah, some of the signs foreshadow a Messiah, but though in the bible Jesus fulfilled all of these, the Torah does not include the time of Jesus in it. Nothing in the Torah proves Jesus is the Messiah, but the signs fit the New Testament's (of the Christian bible) recollection of Jesus. With various authors, written over thousands of years (more than enough proof for any history book), the bible does in fact prove that Jesus fulfilled these prophecies from the Old Testement and the Torah. But, no, the Torah itself does not confirm any of these predictions. It merely gives something to reference to in order to find the Messiah.
Jesus is the Messiah and God's son. The books Mathew, Mark, Luke, and John, in the bible, tell the story of Jesus, from his birth to his death.
Christianity believes that Jesus Christ, whom they consider to be the Messiah, has already come to Earth. This belief is rooted in the New Testament of the Bible, where Jesus is depicted as fulfilling the role of the promised savior.
