Confirmation of Jesus’ Messiahship
When Paul arrived at Thessalonica on his second missionary journey, he spent three Sabbaths in the synagogue, developing a two-point sermon. The first point was pure exegesis. According to the divinely superintended notes of Dr. Luke, the apostle Paul alleged from the Scriptures “that [the] Christ must needs have suffered, and risen again from the dead” (Acts 17:3).

Professor Bookman,
Sir, Your write-up has been very helpful to me in the few minutes I have read through. I value the efforts and resources you committed (sacrificed) to make this possible.
Sir, I am Ernest Jnr Frimpong, a Ghanaian postgraduate candidate in RELIGIOUS STUDIES (Biblical Studies, option). I am writing my thesis on the “Messiahship of Jesus in the light of Zechariah 9.9-11 and Matthew 21.1-11 and its implications for World Peace”.
My Aim: To investigate (by exegesis) the relevance of Jesus’ messiahship to world peace
Problem: There have been insufficient solutions from persons, personalities, societies, nations and world unions in trying to ensure world peace. However, attempts have been less hopeful if not completely futile. There is therefore an urgent need and call for world peace.
Questions:
1. What is Biblical response to how national wars and global wars could be settled and or prevented?
2. How do the two texts justify Jesus as the messiah? or What is the relationship between ‘Messiah’ and ‘Jesus’ according to the periscopes of Zechariah and Matthew?
3. How does the Messiahship of Jesus in the Judeo-Christian Scriptures provide any assurance and solution of world peace and wars respectively?
Sir, please I would be very grateful if you have any literature that could help me. Also, I plead if you could give me some sub-headings/outline of what my Literature Review should involve.
Thank you, Sir.
Much regards,
Ernest Jnr
