BIBLICAL REQUIREMENTS OF MESSIAH FULFILLED IN JESUS
TEXT: LUKE 4:17-21
TUESDAY JULY 19th
Key verse: Isaiah 7:14
“Therefore the Lord Himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a Son, and shall call His name Emmanuel.”
From the scriptures, the seed of the woman that God promised in the Garden of Eden was to come into the world through Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; of which Jesus came through this lineage. Other biblical facts include the following:
1. He must be an Israelite as Moses was and not a stranger from another tribe, as Mohamed of Islam was. Therefore, no Israelite must accept a Messiah that is not an Israelite. Since the God of Israel is the God of all men, no man must accept the Saviour of mankind who is not from the tribe of Israel. This identity is true of Jesus Who is the Word of God to humanity, for our salvation and eternal life.
2. The seed of the woman, the Messiah, the Christ, the everlasting King of all men must be a son of David, according to God's covenant with him.
Luke 1:30-34 And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favor with God. And behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb and bring forth a Son, and shalt call His name JESUS. He shall be great and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto Him the throne of His father David: And He shall reign over the house of Jacob forever; and of his kingdom, there shall be no end. Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?
3. The Messiah shall be the Baptizer with the Holy Ghost. Luke 3:16 John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: He shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire.
The above evidence and many more are in the scriptures to illustrate the authenticity of Jesus as the only Messiah.
Thought for the day: The scriptures affirm the authenticity of Jesus as Messiah
Song for the day: God said it and I believe it, that settles it…
Bible reading for the day:
Psalms 28-31; Acts 21:1-14
