The 'Messiah' is a prophesied leader of the Davidic line that would rise to rule the world; some other prophesies also relate to what this messiah would do. Because of Jesus' ministry, his early followers believed he was the one to fulfill said prophesies, which he did in part, according to The Bible. It is now a commonly-held (although sometimes disputed) teaching of Christianity that further prophesies will be fulfilled upon his second coming and thus his position, and belief in him, as the messiah are cemented in many people's minds.
