BIBLE PROPHECIES | JESUS (2)

1. Jesus

a) JESUS is acknowledged by Christians as the Son of God and the only path to salvation. Jesus was born about 2000 years ago in Bethlehem. Jesus not only prophesied, but he is the fulfillment of many Messianic prophecies. Jesus was also unique in that he prophesied about his own life and about the impact that his words would have on the world. He said that His words would never be forgotten and that they would be taught to people everywhere in the world. Today, we can see with our own eyes, that Jesus' words are the best known of any person in the history. We can also see that there are Christians in virtually every part of the world. In fact, Christianity is the first worldwide religion.

2. Bible Prophecies

a) Jesus proclaims that he is the Messiah. 

John 4:19-26 New International Version (NIV) 

19 “Sir,” the woman said, “I can see that you are a prophet. 20 Our ancestors worshiped on this mountain, but you Jews claim that the place where we must worship is in Jerusalem.” 

21 “Woman,” Jesus replied, “believe me, a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem. 22 You Samaritans worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews. 23 Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. 24 God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.” 

25 The woman said, “I know that Messiah” (called Christ) “is coming. When he comes, he will explain everything to us.” 

26 Then Jesus declared, “I, the one speaking to you—I am he.”
