How to know that Jesus Was the Messiah- Jesus Heals a Man with Leprosy Matthew 8: 1-4
Introduction - The Messianic Hope
When He had come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed Him. And behold, a leper came and worshiped Him, saying, “Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.” Then Jesus put out His hand and touched him, saying, “I am willing; be cleansed.” Immediately his leprosy was cleansed. And Jesus said to him, “See that you tell no one; but go your way, show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, as a testimony to them.” (Matthew 8: 1-4)
The Old Testament predicted that a Messiah was coming, and Christians claimed the name of Jesus Christ as the fulfillment of that prophecy. The Jews for the most part, even to this day reject that Jesus Christ is the Messiah, and most believe they are still waiting for him to appear. So maybe we should ask how do we know that Jesus Christ is the Messiah promised in the Old Testament books in the Bible.
Now the miracles come thick and fast and we’re going to look at each of these three groups of three miracles, maybe one at a time over the next week or so. Today we are just going to look at the first of that initial group of three. The first group depicts Jesus’ power over disease, and the second group portrays his power over nature, and then we will finally get to look at the third group which depicts his authority to forgive sin and his power over death. So today we’re going to begin look at the first of that group of three so look with me at Matthew chapter 8 beginning at verse one.
