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 saith to them, But you, whom say you that I am?16 Shemun Kipha answered and said, Thou art the Meshicha, Son of Aloha the Living.
42 And they ceased not daily to teach in the temple, and in the house, and to preach concerning our Lord Jeshu Meshiha.
22 but Aloha hath helped me until this day; and, behold, I stand and testify to the small and to the great, yet nothing beyond Musha and the prophets do I speak, but those things which they said should come to pass;23 that the Meshiha should suffer, and should be the chief of the resurrection from the house of the dead, and should preach light to the 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.
11 for there is born for you to-day the Redeemer, who is the Lord the Meshicha, in the city of David.
6 Blessed and holy is he who hath part in the first resurrection: upon them the second death hath not power; but they shall be priests of Aloha and of his Meshiha, and shall reign with him the thousand years.
44 Wherefore be ye also prepared, because in the hour that ye expect not shall come the Son of man.
