My Testimony
From Fear to Fervent Study of the Bible
What I Wish Someone Had Told Me - Part 3
I wish someone had told me to focus on Jesus when reading the Bible. I wish someone had told me to focus on whom the Bible claims that Jesus was and is!
What you may not know about the Bible is that it is made up of the Old Testament and the New Testament. The Old Testament is known as the Tanakh in Judaism. What you also may not know is that the Old Testament Tanakh foretold of a coming Man who would be known as the Messiah or Christ. Messiah and Christ mean the same thing which is "Anointed". So the Old Testament Tanakh which was written over a period of more than 1000 years is full of prophecies about this coming Messiah/Christ Man. To this day, the Jews of Judaism are still awaiting this Messiah/Christ. Christians, however, believe that this Messiah/Christ has already come, and that his name was Jesus, who died on a cross 2000 years ago.
