What does the Bible say about the coming Savior?

In Isaiah 35:5-6, the prophet speaks of a coming Savior whose arrival will bring transformative miracles—opening the eyes of the blind, unblocking the ears of the deaf, and enabling the lame to leap. This prophecy was a source of hope for the Old Testament saints as they anticipated their Messiah. Robert Hawker highlights that this promise of consolation was what encouraged and filled the hearts of faithful believers during times of distress. Such prophecies showed them that their Savior would bring not just physical healing but spiritual liberation and joy, reaffirming God's faithfulness to His people.
