Jesus the Messiah

God led me to go deeper in the claim why Jesus said he was and is the Messiah. John 4:25-26.

Why did Jesus claim to be the Messiah?
What rights did Jesus have to state his claim on being the Messiah
How do know that Jesus claim is true?
How can we validate these things and how we can know that other who claim to be the Messiah is false or the Christ?
When we have our car serviced there are check point the mechanic check off to see if the car meets the requirements.
So if that can be the case, here is why we can look into the life of Jesus, to see why he claim to be the Messiah.

HIS BIRTH PLACE
Messiah would be born in Bethlehem.
“But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, though you are small among the clans[a] of Judah, out of you will come for me one who will be ruler over Israel,whose origins are from of old, from ancient times.” Micah 5:2
Luke 2:4-6 So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David. 5 He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child. 6 While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born,
Messiah would be born of a virgin. Also called Immanuel.
Isaiah 7:14
Therefore, the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel.
Matthew 1:23
“The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel” (which means “God with us”)

The Genealogy of Jesus the Messiah
1 This is the genealogy of Jesus the Messiah, the son of David, the son of Abraham
Messiah would come from the tribe of Judah. Genesis 49:10
Genesis 49:10
10 The scepter will not depart from Judah, nor the ruler’s staff from between his feet, until he to whom it belongs shall come and the obedience of the nations shall be his.

Messiah would be heir to King David’s throne.
2 Samuel 7:12
When your days are over and you rest with your ancestors, I will raise up your offspring to succeed you, your own flesh and blood, and I will establish his kingdom.

Luke 1:32-33
32 He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, 33 and he will reign over Jacob’s descendants forever; his kingdom will never end.”

As the Old Testament predicted. The New Testament fulfilled it
Jesus would come from the line of David through the tribe of Judah by the way of Jacob, Issac and Abraham.
To point out it all started in the line of Abraham. Including the linage of David. Rulers and kings are in his blood line. Earthly line.

Where was he born is another factor? Born in Bethlehem, by a
virgin, called Mary, spend time in Egypt and back to Nazareth.
There he was known as a Nazarene

His work of the ministry

A messenger would prepare the way for Messiah

Isaiah 40:3-5
3 A voice of one calling: “In the wilderness prepare the way for the LORD; make straight in the desert a highway for our God.4Every valley shall be raised up, every mountain and hill made low; the rough ground shall become level ,the rugged places a plain.5And the glory of the LORD will be revealed ,and all people will see it together. For the mouth of the LORD has spoken.”

The fulfillment

Matthew 3:1‭-‬3

In those days John the Baptist came, preaching in the wilderness of Judea and saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near.” This is he who was spoken of through the prophet Isaiah: “A voice of one calling in the wilderness, ‘Prepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths for him.’ ”

Messiah would be declared the Son of God.
Psalm 2:7
7I will proclaim the LORD’s decree: He said to me, “You are my son; today I have become your father

Matthew 3:13-17
3Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to be baptized by John. 14But John tried to deter him, saying, “I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?”
15Jesus replied, “Let it be so now; it is proper for us to do this to fulfill all righteousness. ”Then John consented.
16As soon as Jesus was baptized, he went up out of the water. At that moment heaven was opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting on him. 17And a voice from heaven said, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased.”

Here are some more fact about Christ being the Messiah.

Messiah would bring light to Galilee. Isaiah 9:1-2 Matthew 4:13-16
Messiah would be sent to heal the brokenhearted. Isaiah 61:1-2 Luke 4:18-19
Messiah would be rejected by his own people. Isaiah 53:3 John 1:11
Messiah would be called King. Psalm 2:6 Mark 11:7-11
Messiah would speak in parables. Psalm 78:2-4 Matthew 13:10-15, 34-35
Messiah would be praised by little children. Psalm 8:2 Matt.21:16
Messiah would be a priest after the order of Melchizedek. Psalm 110:4 Hebrews 5:5-6

Tomorrow we will look closely to these truth to really understand Jesus as he is the Messiah. The savior and deliverer of the entire world
