He is considered the messiah because he is the son of God
mathew 3:16-17
My church teacher thingy said that and she said because messiah means messenger and that's what Jesus was ; he was a messenger because he was giving the good word of his father.
Peter
Yes, in Christianity, Jesus is considered the Messiah, believed to be the chosen one who fulfills the prophecies of the Old Testament.
No. A prophet predicts the coming of the messiah. Christianity sees Jesus as the messiah, the one whose coming was predicted.
No Jesus was not "named" the messiah, he WAS the messiah, he was "named" Jesus.
Jesus Christ is the Messiah.
Yes, Jesus is the Messiah!
Yes, Mormons believe that Jesus is the Messiah.
The Jews do not recognize Jesus of Nazareth as the Messiah, they are still waiting for the Messiah to come.
Judah, the fourth son of Jacob, is the one who became the ancestor of the Messiah. From the line of Judah came King David and eventually Jesus, who is considered the Messiah in Christianity.
Yes Jesus was the Messiah.
because may be 1) reveals by the Father that Jesus is the Messiah, 2) intuitively know that Jesus is the long waited Messiah, 3) Jesus told him he is the Messiah or show him some miracles to him and he instantly believe Jesus is the Messiah 4) he had a dream last night that today he will meet the Messiah 5) Philip believed the testament of John the baptist who said that Jesus is the Messiah, I think he is one of the most faithful disciple of John the baptist. Jesus saw his total faith that Philip believed that he is the Messiah, therefore Jesus choose him.
why is the place of jesus birth important to his becoming the messiah
