What does it mean to say Jesus is the Messiah?

What's coming up? Let's plunge into the Deeper Waters and find out.
Open up your New Testament and you'll find references to Christ Jesus everywhere. A big debate going on in the time of Jesus about Him was if He was the Messiah or not. We so often speak about the deity of Christ (And we should) that we often forget the fact that Jesus was the Messiah. Some people even take it to mean that Jesus is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Christ.
If you're a gentile, it sadly probably doesn't mean much to you to hear that Jesus is the Christ. What you need to do is see it from a Jewish perspective. Jesus being the Messiah means that He is the hope of Israel. He is the fulfillment of the covenant promises of YHWH. If you want to understand a Jewish perspective, perhaps you should talk to a Jew.
So why not do the best that you can? Why not get the person on who's the leading Jewish defender of the Messiahship of Jesus? For that, I decided to have on Michael Brown, author of the multi-volume series Answering Jewish Objections To Jesus. Who is he?
According to his bio:
What does it mean for Jesus to be the Messiah? What about Jewish objections? After all, shouldn't we have universal peace right now if the Messiah has come? We'll have an hour long show so there won't be time for everything, but we will use the time we have to the fullest.
Please be watching your podcast feed. Also, I want to remind you to leave a positive review for the Deeper Waters Podcast. Thank you for your support!
