Faith Zone 2008-09 – Year of the MessiahThe Faith Zone purchases a curriculum especially written and published for workshop rotation experiences by Cornerstones, Inc. The following description is an overview of the theme of Covenant being studied this year at St. John’s..
The Messiah is Jesus Christ. From the time of the early prophets, the people of Israel placed their hope on the arrival of a deliverer. Kind David became the reference point for those prophets, promising a return to the throne of someone who would institute a New Kingdom. This deliverer, the Anointed one of God, the Messiah, would bring salvation from earthly oppression. Jesus’ birth, baptism, crucifixion and resurrection fulfilled those prophecies. Whether explored in Handel’s Messiah, Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel, or contemporary multi-cultural representations, Jesus Christ as the Messiah is the central figure of the Christian faith.
This is my Son, the Beloved, with whom I am well pleased.
Mark 3:17
