Messias
Jesus é o Messias prometido — o Cristo, o Ungido de Deus. Séculos de profecias apontaram para Ele, e Pedro declarou: 'Tu és o Cristo, o Filho do Deus vivo.'
A confissão messiânica
Pedro confessou: Tu és o Cristo, o Filho do Deus vivo. Os apóstolos pregaram incansavelmente que Jesus é o Messias prometido.
15 He says to them, But who say ye, I am?16 And Simon Peter having answered, said, Thou are the Christ, the Son of the living God.
42 And every day, in the temple and from house to house, they ceased not teaching and preaching good news, Jesus, the Christ.
22 Having therefore experienced the help from God, I stand to this day solemnly declaring both to small and great, saying nothing apart from what both the prophets and Moses said was going to happen,23 that the suffering Christ, since first from a resurrection of the dead, is going to proclaim light to our people and to the nations.
As profecias cumpridas
O Messias viria como Príncipe da Paz, Salvador e Senhor. Cada profecia se cumpriu em Jesus de Nazaré, nascido em Belém.
6 For to us a child is born, to us a son is given. And the government shall be upon his shoulder. And his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Father of Eternity, Prince of Peace.
11 because to you was born today in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ Lord.
6 Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. On these the second death has no power, but they will be priests of God and of the Christ, and will reign with him a thousand years.
44 Because of this ye also be ready, because in that hour ye think not the Son of man comes.
