Messiah

Therefore, we must answer who is Christ? Christ can be describe as a Savior, Messiah, Son of God, Deliverer, and Redeemer. Christ to me is The Messiah and Teacher because he is the anointed one Chosen by God to lead us to salvation through him. Also, he is a teacher to teach us the Good Lord teachings in Christ. On the subject, Jesus Christ has many names though one name is Christ or Messiah. The definition of Messiah is a King who will be sent by God to save the…

and John and they are found in that order in the Christian New Testament. These four Gospels reference the Hebrew Bible in several passages to show the legitimacy of Jesus as messiah. In delivering this message, the Gospels also explain Jesus as God’s son which causes quite a controversy to say the least. Jesus as messiah is still disputed almost 2,000 years later. The Gospel According to Matthew is strictly told from a Jewish perspective and places much emphasis on the lineage of Jesus, aka…

This was a huge topic during this time period and even today. Without John’s writing to confirm Jesus life through ministry and his divinity it would still not be clarified. The idea of who the “Messiah” was would still be in the air, important “I AM” statements of Jesus would be missing, and just the idea of “Who Jesus is” would not be the same without John’s writing. I think it is clear the John did not have access to the Synoptic Gospel and it…

what he experienced with whom Matthew believes is the Messiah, Jesus. Mark, a scribe, was not one of Jesus' disciples. He took the stories and ministry of Jesus and wrote about them to talk about Jesus as the Messiah. Mark wrote this book for the Romans, so this book appeals to the Roman culture and population.…

though there were no previous teachings that the Messiah would have to face such temptations. One teaching proclaimed by the rabbis was that Messiah would come someday and stand upon the roof of the sanctuary and pronounce His coming. Old Testament Scriptures teach of a 40 day fast by both Moses and Elijah and thus the Messiah to fast 40 days would be three stages in the history of the covenant. Moses gave the Law, Elisha restored it, and the Messiah would perfect it. The difference was that…

include prophesies of the coming Messiah. While God had continuously spoke to the prophets about they’re coming savior, He never spoke of the specifics of what He would be like. Expectedly, this lead people to develop their own ideas and develop expectations as to what the Messiah will do and how He would save them. There are three major expectations shown throughout the Psalms: a kingly image, a generous rewarder, and a great punisher. The image of the Messiah as a king is found all over the…

Qumran. Clearly this is a testament to the way God has preserved His Word down through the centuries, protecting it from extinction and guarding it against significant error. Lastly, the Dead Sea Scrolls are important because they talk about two Messiahs rather than just one, which contradicts the…

George Frideric Handel is one of the best composers of the Baroque era. He is best known for being the master of oratorios. G.F. Handel was born in Halle, Germany on February 23, 1685. He was known as being a “boy genius” of his time (Sherrane). “Handel was very brilliant in several different musical works, including operas, oratorios, and concertos grossos. In the late Baroque period he combined German, French, Italian, and English musical styles in his operas (40), oratorios (20), and…

The stories of Jesus are represented through the four New Testament Gospels: Mark, Matthew, Luke, and John. Each Gospel emphasizes on particular principles that represent Jesus differently. Jesus is seen as the suffering Messiah in all four Gospels, but each Evangelist puts in his own intake, hence expanding on the original Markan portrait of Jesus. The writers of the Gospels give their own theological assertions, and understandings, which in effect creates a new portrait of Jesus for each…

(AGE Fotostock) “The Messiah” is George Frideric Handel's most renowned Oratorio that continues to be repeated by many orchestras, Churches, and individuals in many different forms and genres. His Messiah was originally an Easter offering but became; and continues to be popular and most beloved of all his Oratorios. It burst onto the stage of Musick Hall in Dublin on April 13, 1742. Now, of course, Messiah is a fixture of the Christmas season. Woe to the concert…
