Chapter 4 -JESUS CHRIST THE KEY TO THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD

Conclusion of EVIDENCE THAT JESUS WAS THE MESSIAH

The testimony of Jehovah God is a third line of evidence supporting Jesus' Messiahship.  Jehovah sent angels to let people know that  Jesus was the promised Messiah.  (Luke 2:10-14)  In fact, during Jesus' earthly life, Jehovah himself spoke from heaven, expressing his approval of Jesus.  (Matthew 3:16, 17; 17:1-5)  Jehovah God gave Jesus the power to perform miracles.  Each one of these was  further divine proof that Jesus was the Messiah, for God would never give a fraud power to perform miracles.  Jehovah also used his holy spirit to inspire the Gospel accounts, so that the evidence of Jesus'  Messiahship became part of the Bible, the most widely translated and distributed book in history. -John 4:25, 26.

In all, these categories of evidence include hundreds of facts that identify Jesus as the promised Messiah.  Clearly, then, true Christians, have rightly viewed him as 'the one to whom all the prophets bore witness' and the key to the knowledge of God.  (Acts 10:43) But there is more to learn about Jesus Christ than the fact that he was the Messiah.  Where did he originate?  What was he like?
