The Bible proclaims that Christ is the promised Messiah, foretold in the Old Testament as the one who would save His people from their sins.
The Bible makes it clear that Jesus Christ is the fulfillment of the Messiah prophesies found throughout the Old Testament. Scriptures like Zechariah 3:8-10 describe Him as 'the branch' and 'the stone,' indicating His role in removing the iniquity of His people in one day. The anticipation of the coming Messiah was a central theme for the Jewish people, who awaited God's savior. Moreover, passages such as Isaiah 11:1 affirm the expectation of a Messiah who would bring forth salvation. As Christians, we celebrate that Jesus is that promised One, God incarnate who successfully accomplished redemption and is our great high priest and advocate.
