The Life and Work of Messiah

About the Book

The Life and Work of Messiah is written for individuals interested in acquiring a spiritual, psychological, and relational understanding of Messiah. It traces the concept of Messiah from its beginnings in prophecy through His coming in the person of Jesus of Nazareth to dwell among men.

It surveys the events of baptism and temptation as preparation for His public ministry and the calling of twelve ordinary men to be His disciples.

Special attention is given to the things Jesus does to establish Himself as Messiah in the minds of the people, such things as creating food to feed the hungry, healing the infirm, giving sight to the blind, delivering those possessed of unclean spirits, and raising the dead.
