5 WAYS JESUS PROVED HE'S THE MESSIAH

He was foreknown before the foundation of the world but was made manifest in the last times for the sake of you.” —1 Peter 1:20 (ESV)

Christmas truly is the most wonderful time of the year. More than presents, lighted trees and time with loved ones, now is when we celebrate the birth of Christ. It’s a holy season for Christians—a time to bask in God’s glory shown to us through His Son Jesus Christ.

Yet, even with the splendor and joy of Christmas all around, you or someone you know may be convinced Jesus was just another man, possibly a prophet, but certainly not the Messiah.

Jesus is in fact unique. There are numerous things that set Him apart from other religions—with biblical prophecy and proof to back up each of them.

From the very beginning, God had a plan. And through hundreds of prophecies in the Old Testament, God prepared the world for the coming of His Son. Jesus really did live to die for the sins of humanity.

Here are 5 of more than 300 prophecies fulfilled ages later through Christ:

1. Jesus was born in Bethlehem.

Biblical prophecy:

“But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, though you are little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of you shall come forth to Me the One to be Ruler in Israel, whose goings forth are from of old, from everlasting.” —Micah 5:2 (NKJV)

Prophecy fulfilled:

After Christ’s birth, King Herod gathered the chief priests and scribes to ask them where the Messiah would be born. They responded by citing the Old Testament prophecy revealing that Christ would be born in Bethlehem:

They told him, “In Bethlehem of Judea, for so it is written by the prophet:

“‘And you, O Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, are by no means least among the rulers of Judah; for from you shall come a ruler who will shepherd my people Israel.’” —Matthew 2:5-6 (NKJV)

Also, John 7:42 (NKJV) says, “Has not the Scripture said that the Christ comes from the seed of David and from the town of Bethlehem, where David was?”

2. Jesus was born of a virgin.

Biblical prophecy:

Isaiah 7:14 (NKJV) says, “Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and shall call His name Immanuel.”

Prophecy fulfilled:

“Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel,’ which is translated, ‘God with us.’” —Matthew 1:23 (NKJV)

Just as Isaiah said, the virgin Mary did indeed conceive and have a Son who is called Immanuel. Jesus being born of a virgin and the prophecy of this event show God’s infinite power and knowledge. He defied nature to bring His Son to the earth.

You can know Jesus, the Messiah.
