Look No Further
Like so many people, I was at one stage in my life searching for spiritual truth. Upon reading The Bible I came upon the teaching concerning Messiah. I learned that it is the Hebrew, or Jewish title, of The Anointed One. In the Greek language the same word is translated The Christ. Consequently, when we use the name Jesus Christ, we are actually saying Jesus The Christ, or, Jesus The Anointed One. Reading The Old Testament, I found many promises that God made proclaiming that He would send an Anointed One - Messiah.
The Prophet Isaiah wrote a great deal about Messiah, declaring His many titles. As an example, one of the loved Christmas readings is Isaiah chapter nine verse six where we read; "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, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace." As you can see from this one portion of scripture, the Messiah would be no ordinary man. Jesus is that Messiah, as the Angel announced to the shepherds at His birth; "Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord." (Luke 2:11)
I now know that Jesus is the One who leads those who believe in Him out of darkness, bringing Peace in this life. As God's Anointed Messiah, Jesus became the ultimate sacrifice for sin. After fulfilling His mission He has gone on ahead to prepare a place for those who have put their faith in Him. Do you know The Messiah - Jesus? If you are a seeker after truth, you need look no further than Jesus Christ. Receive from Him the gift of salvation that only He can give. “For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.” (John 3:17)
