Jesus is affirmed as both Lord and Christ through His resurrection and the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy.
The declaration of Jesus as both Lord and Christ is central to the gospel message. Acts 2:36 states, 'Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.' This recognition is not merely an acknowledgment of Jesus as a historical figure but a profound understanding of His divine nature and authority as the promised Messiah. The fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies concerning the coming Savior reinforces this truth, demonstrating that Jesus embodies God's plan for redemption. This revelation of Christ reveals Him as the Almighty God who has the power to save His people from their sins.
