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 said to them, "But you, who do you say that I am?"16 Simon Peter said, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God."
42 And every day in the Temple courts and from house to house they unceasingly taught and told the good news of Jesus the Christ.
22 But obtaining help from God I have continued until this day witnessing to small and great, saying nothing but what the prophets and Moses said would be,23 that the Christ would suffer and that he first, by rising from the dead, would proclaim light to our people and to the Gentiles."
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 was born for you to-day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ and Lord.
6 Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection! Over these the second death has no power, but they will be priests and kings of God and of Christ, and will reign with him the thousand years.
44 Therefore be you also ready, for in an hour that you do not think the Son of Man is coming.
