Why Do I Need a Messiah?

The book of Genesis reveals the Fall of Man and the disobedience that separates Man from God.

In Gen. 3:15 And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will crush your head and you will strike his heal.

Here, God is already revealing his plan to defeat Satan and offer salvation to the world through his Son, Jesus Christ.

Romans 5:12 Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all men, because all sinned (13) for before the law was given, sin was in the world.

Isaiah 59:2 But your iniquities have separated you from your God; your sins have hidden his face from you, so that he will not hear you. (John 3:16) For God so loved the world that He gave his only Son, that whoever believes in HIM will not perish but have eternal life.

Luke 24:44 He said to them, "This is what I told you while I was still with you; Everything must be fulfilled that is written about me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms."

Old Testament Prophesy pointing to Messiah:

Isaiah 9:6 "For unto us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be upon his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace."

Isaiah 55:11 So is my WORD that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.

[There are over 300 predictions concerning Christ in the Old Testament]

ROLE AS PROPHET FORETOLD

Deut. 18: 15-20 "The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your own brothers. You must listen to him. For this is what you asked of the Lord your God at Horeb on the day of the assembly when you said "Let us not hear the voice of the Lord our God nor see this great fire anymore, or we will die." The Lord said to me: "What they say is good. I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their brothers; I will put my words in his mouth and he will tell them everything I command him. If anyone does not listen to my words that the prophet speaks in my name, I myself will call him to account. But a prophet who presumes to speak my name anything I have not commanded him to say, or a prophet who speaks in the name of other gods, must be put to death."

Foretold His sufferings

RESSURECTION PREDICTED

Isaiah 53:10,11 Yet, it was the Lord's will to crush him and cause him to suffer, and though the Lord makes his life a guilt offering, he will see his offspring and prolong his days, and the will of the Lord will prosper in his hand. After the suffering of his soul, he will see the light of life and be satisfied by his knowledge my righteous servant will justify many and he will bear their iniquities.
