The Proof that Jesus is Christ


What is the basis for believing in Jesus as the Christ?

Two thousand years ago at the time of the first coming, the people of Israel and their shepherds condemned Jesus as a heretic.

But Jesus’ twelve disciples were convinced that Jesus was the Christ and the Son of God. What was the basis of their belief?

Prophecies about Jesus were written in the Old Testament and were fulfilled according to these promises.

"Prophecy" is like a blueprint for what will be fulfilled in the future and what will serve as proof of its reality (John 14:29).

Through the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy, one will come to believe in a living and active God.

Anyone can prophesy, but not everyone can fulfill it. God must fulfill what He has promised, even hundreds or thousands of years later.

He prophesied about a promised shepherd throughout the Old Testament, and according to this promise Jesus came. Jesus came according to the Bible, lived his life according to the Bible, died according to the Bible, and resurrected according to the Bible (Ref to 1Co15:3–4).

The Old Testament Law of Moses, psalms, and writings of the prophets were proof that pointed to Jesus (Luke24:44). This is why Jesus can be recognized as Christ.

Jesus Christ, who came according to the Bible, had Apostle John record the Book of Revelation of the New Testament. This foretells the coming of a promised temple, promised (revelation) theology, and promised pastor, which all appear when the book of Revelation is fulfilled.

Do you know about this promised pastor?
Do you know about the pastor in the promises Jesus made for the churches according to the Bible in Revelation 22:16?
