Jesus Christ The Messiah
The
Biblical Portrayal
How
does the title Messiah fit Jesus the
Savior?
The title
Christ and
Messiah leterally mean "Anointed
One."
Isaiah 53;1,12 shows Jesus as the
suffering servant Messiah. Who amongst
the Jews would believe t
hat
God would choose to save the world
through a humble, suffering servant
rather than a glorious King?
Jesus Christ first came as a total
contrast to this world of pride and
worldly methods. Often, God works in
ways we would never expect. The
Messiah's glory is revealed by His
humility, suffering, grace and truth.
Jesus Christ the Messiah fulfilled the
Old Testament Sacrificial system. The
people under Isaiah's influence and day
we're blessed to have the curtain of
time and future opened for their eyes to
see the suffering of the Messiah and the
resulting work of redemption.
Jesus fully met the character and role
requirements of the Messiah. The Jews
were very thoughtful with the old
testament prophecies that spoke of the
Messiah's blessings to their nation in a
glorious and kingly way. They did not
always give fervent attention to the
prophecies saying that He would bring
salvation to the entire world. Yet, the
four gospels reveal what the O.T. was
addressing: that Christ had come to save
all who believe.
Jesus is the
fulfillment of the
messianic promise of
Isaiah 11:1. As
the bright and
morning star (Revelation
22:16) Christ will usher in the new
age of the messianic kingdom. The
deeds of Christ are observable and
unforgettable ones. Jesus is not
theory, He is God's theology.
Christ the Messiah is not fictional, He
is factual. The Christ is
Coming Again, not as a Lamb this
time... but as the Lion, King of kings
and Lord of lords. Amen! Learn how to be
