The Messiah

Advent 2024


The MessiahOn Sunday mornings during Advent we will be thinking about how the Old Testament points us to the Messiah. 

The Hebrew Bible contains several passages in Isaiah and Malachi that are interpreted as foretelling the coming of the Messiah or Messianic age. We will be looking at the three passages highlighted in Handel's Messiah, which point to the coming of Jesus Christ as the fulfilment of Old Testament prophecies:

(i) Isaiah 40 speaks of preparation, with John the Baptist heralding Jesus' arrival. (ii) Isaiah 53 vividly describes Jesus' suffering and sacrificial death for humanity’s sins. (iii) Malachi 3 highlights the dual roles of John as the preparatory messenger and Jesus as the Lord who ushers in the new covenant of salvation.

These prophecies form a foundation for the Christian belief that Jesus is the promised Messiah who brings redemption to the world.
