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.
"But what about you?" he asked them. "Who do you say I am?"
"You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God," Simon Peter replied.
Every day they continued to teach and proclaim Jesus as the Messiah, in the Temple and from house to house.
God has looked after me so I can stand here today as a witness to everyone, both to ordinary people and to those who are important. I am only repeating what Moses and the prophets said would happen— how the Messiah had to suffer, and that by being the first to rise from the dead he would announce the light of God’s salvation to both Jews and foreigners."
As profecias cumpridas
O Messias viria como Príncipe da Paz, Salvador e Senhor. Cada profecia se cumpriu em Jesus de Nazaré, nascido em Belém.
For a child will be born for us, a son will be given to us. He will bear the responsibility to rule. He will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
The Savior has been born to you today, here in David’s city. He is the Messiah, the Lord.
Blessed and holy are those who take part in the first resurrection! The second death has no power over them. They will be priests of God, and of Christ, and they will reign with him for one thousand years.
You also need to be ready, because the Son of man is coming at a time when you’re not expecting him.
