is Jesus the messiah ?
Messiah means = 'anointed one' in Hebrew
Christ means = 'Saviour' in Greek
The Messiah is the Anointed One (chosen One) who comes to save.
We can verify if Jesus is the Messiah by looking at God's promises about the Messiah in the Bible and seeing the evidence in the life of Jesus showing their fulfillment. God's promises about the Messiah were written thousands of years before the birth of Jesus. These are called the MESSIANIC PROPHECIES.
The noun prophecy describes a “prediction of the future, made under divine inspiration” or a “revelation of God.”.
The Old Testament books in the Bible (all of them written between 1450 BC and 430 BC) contain hundreds of prophecies about an “anointed one” (“Messiah” in Hebrew) who would arrive in the future. The Messiah would “deliver” or “save” starting with the Jewish people and then the Gentiles. (Gentiles are all people who are not Jewish).
The Messianic Prophecies were all fulfilled in one person: Jesus Christ with 100% accuracy.
