The Prophesied Messiah
Jesus Christ, the Son of the Living God, is not just the promised Messiah to the Jewish people but also the promised and prophesied Messiah for the entire human race. Those prophecies begin in Genesis 3:15 and continue through the Old Testament, all the way to Malachi.
The prophecies are general at times and very specific at other times, fulfilled in Jesus's birth, life, death, resurrection, and ascension. The amount of time between the prophecies about the Messiah that is fulfilled by Jesus is thousands of years down to a few hundred years. This is staggering on its face and is faith-building for those who choose to study it closely.
A cursory count of the Old Testament prophecies of the Messiah is around 121. There are likely even more that we have missed. For every prophecy in the Old Testament, there are often two or three records of them being fulfilled in the life of Jesus.
Jesus is the prophesied and promised Messiah for the whole world! He is to be both honored and followed by all people!
