Did you ever asked yourself why Jesus is the one who is being identified as a messiah? We know for sure that there was a prophesy about a messiah coming to his people (Israel) to save. But why Christ is the one who is being identified by millions of people that he is the one.
The answer is in what Christ did: healing, raising people from the death, and speaking the truth. John disciples heard about Christ, told John about it, where John decides to send a message to Christ seeing what does Christ himself has to say about this, about if he is the one (messiah)? and this was Christ answer:
"And he answered them, 'Go and tell John what you have seen and heard: the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, the poor have good news preached to them. And blessed is the one who is not offended by me.'” (Luke 7:22-23)
The solid answer about why Christ is the messiah is in the life that he lived. This is enough to know if Christ is the one (messiah), his goodness that He showed to the people. No one in the history did that much miracles as Christ, no one in the world showed that much love to all the people as Christ did.
Just before this story we see Christ healing the centurions slave from sickness and raised widows only son from death. No matter if the person was respected, rich among the people as centurion, or the widow who had just one thing left in her life, her son (who died). Christ showed love in raising the widows son from the death and healing the centurions slave. The one thing that we can not put in the shadow is the works that he did when considering if Christ is the messiah.
Christ says, "blessed is the one who is not offended by my" (23). So that raises the question, Do we believe in Christ as the one who came from heaven? The One who died for the sins of the world? Through who God spoke and reveled himself in who He is? A questions that should be a challenge everyone who could reason and think, but lets reason and think in the midst of what He did.
