The Only Messiah Who Fulfilled Prophecy

2

Bible verse : Isaiah 7:14 (NIV)

Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign:
The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel.
Bible verse : Isaiah 7:14 (NIV)
"The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son,
and they will call him Immanuel"--which means, "God with us."

3

Among the billions of people living on this earth, there is no one who was born according to the prophecy for which it was predicted in advance, 'In what country will he be born, who will his parents be, and what kind of person will he become when he grows up?'

4

However, Jesus, the only one who saved us from sin and death, followed the prophecy. Before Jesus came to this earth, God had the Old Testament prophets prophesy how Jesus would come to this earth.

5

When Adam and Eve disobeyed God and sinned, all humans lost their relationship with God. God has prepared to restore relationships with humans from the day humans sinned. He proceeded with his plan to restore the broken relationship by sending his only son to this earth.

6

According to God’s plan, Jesus was born on this earth as a human being like us. And after putting him to death for our sins, he raised him again.
God has granted eternal life to anyone who believes in Jesus and can go to heaven.

7

God began to inform people of the plan He had for mankind through various prophets. Let's take a look at who those prophets were and how the messages they delivered came to fruition.

8

The name of the first prophet is Isaiah. It is written in Isaiah 7:14:
[Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel. (Isaiah 7:14)]
God clearly and clearly stated through the prophet Isaiah that Jesus would come to this earth through the body of a virgin.

9

Isaiah's prophecy came true 700 years later. God, through the Holy Spirit, caused the unmarried virgin Mary to become pregnant.
This child that Mary was pregnant with was Jesus who came to save us. The prophecy spoken through Isaiah has come true.

10

The name of the second prophet is Micah. A prophet named Micah prophesied as follows.
[But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, though you are small among the clans of Judah, out of you will come for me one who will be ruler over Israel, whose origins are from of old, from ancient times. (Micah 5:2)]
God had Micah prophesy that the Messiah would be born in Bethlehem.

11

Prophet Micah’s prophecy also came true accurately. Just before Jesus was born, Caesar Augustus issued an order for everyone to return to their hometowns and register their families. Joseph went to his hometown of Bethlehem with Mary, who was pregnant with Jesus.

12

Shortly after they arrived in Bethlehem, Mary gave birth to Jesus, the Messiah.
They could not find a place to stay, so they had no choice but to give birth to Jesus in a stable with horses and place him in a manger. As Micah said, the prophecy that the Messiah would be born in Bethlehem came true exactly.

13

What is more surprising is that Joseph, Jesus’ earthly father, was a descendant of King David. Prophet Isaiah and other books of the Old Testament prophesied that the Messiah would be born as a descendant of King David. Those words were also accurately fulfilled through Joseph.

14

God has been planning to save us for a long time. Jesus, the Messiah, told us specifically how, where, and into whose family he would be born.
This is done to make sure that we realize that only the Jesus we believe in is the true Messiah who came from God.

15

If you deeply understand and look at the Bible, you will discover that all the records in the Bible point toward Jesus, the Messiah. According to the evidence of the Bible, Jesus is the only Messiah sent directly by God.
Jesus is God, and only Jesus can save us.

16

Every Christmas, the streets are filled with Santas. People enjoy sharing gifts with each other. Many people do not know the true meaning of Christmas and think of it as a day to have fun and do what they want.

17

Christmas is the day when Jesus, the Messiah, came to this earth as God prophesied through the prophets. As children of God, we must be thankful that Jesus came to this earth to save us and praise Him highly. You must tell your friends, who do not know the true meaning of Christmas, that Jesus is the true Messiah who came to this earth. Also, just as Jesus did when he was on this earth, we should spend this meaningful day remembering the difficult people around us and doing whatever little we can for them.
