From the beginning, the Tenach (Hebrew Scriptures) promised a Messiah (Genesis 3:15), a Savior for both Jews and Gentiles (Isaiah 49:6). The Tenach reveals over 65 distinctives of the Messiah. He would be from the tribe of Judah (Micah 5:2), the family of David (Jeremiah 23:5-6), and born of a virgin (Isaiah 7:14). He would suffer and die (Isaiah 53:19) as an atoning sacrifice prior to the destruction of the Temple by the Romans in CE 70 (Daniel 9:24-26).  He would be resurrected (Psalm 16:10).

The Brit Chadasha (New Testament) reveals Yeshua's fulfillment of prophecy. He WAS from the tribe of Judah (Matthew 1:1-2), the family of David (Matthew 1:1), and born of a virgin (Matthew 1:23). He DID suffer and die (Matthew 27:32-56) as an atoning sacrifice prior to the destruction of the Temple in CE 70. He WAS resurrected, thus providing salvation for Jew and Gentile (Matthew 28:1-20).

Messiah Yeshua's gift of salvation is free to those who repent of their sins, place their faith in His sacrifice, and believe that God raised Him from the dead.

Dear Father, I now confess myself to have broken your law and to have sinned before you. I acknowledge my sin and ask You to forgive me. I ask Yeshua (Jesus) to enter my life and be my Messiah, Savior, and Lord.  From this moment forward, I believe Yeshua is the Messiah,and that He died on the tree for me. I believe He rose from the dead and is living now, and I place my trust in Him. By faith in Him, I am now born again, given eternal life, and invite your Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit) to take up residence within. Please help me now to continue to trust You, live for You, and grow in my relationship with You.  Amen.
