God loves us. Even though we choose to sin, and are separated from him by that sin,
He desires to bring us back into righteousness and fellowship with Him. From the time
of the Garden of Eden and Adam and Eve’s original sin, God has promised a Savior.
God has given us information about the Savior (the Christ) through the ages. This
information is recorded in the Old Testament as prophecies. God has kept all of his
promises and fulfilled all of the prophecies in Jesus Christ.
Sin and death came by one man Adam. The gift of God is given by grace through the
righteousness of one man Jesus, the Christ. See Romans 5: 12-14, 17-19
Romans 5:18-19 Consequently, just as the result of one trespass was condemnation for all
men, so also the result of one act of righteousness was justification that brings life for all men.
For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so also
through the obedience of the one man the many will be made righteous.
Genesis chapter 3 deals with Man’s fall, the serpent, and the first promise of the
Savior. Genesis 3:15 and I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your
offspring in hers; he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel.
1.) Prophecy is the foretelling of events that will happen in the future. People
who prophesy what God has to say are called prophets. The prophecies
about the Christ were written hundreds and in some cases thousands of
years before Jesus was born.
2.) There are over 300 prophecies about the Christ, Jesus fulfilled them all! See
Isaiah 53 particularly verses 9-12.
3.) On the road to Emmaus, Jesus appears to two people and opens up their
hearts to the scripture that prophesied about the Christ. See Luke 24:13-35
Luke 24:27 And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he explained to them
what was said in all the Scriptures concerning himself.
Jesus is the Christ (the Messiah) the Promised Savior of the Jewish nation. He reaches
out to all people of the world with God’s love and forgiveness of sin through His death
and sacrifice for us. To accept Him is to accept the Truth, and the Life. Jesus is the
Way. God has kept His promises and fulfilled the prophecies of the Savior in Jesus,
who is the Christ!
