Prophesy
of the Coming Messiah
He
Was Pierced for Our Transgressions (Isaiah 53:5)
But
he was pierced for our transgressions,
he
was crushed for our iniquities;
the
punishment that brought us peace was on him,
and
by his wounds we are healed.
Prophesy
of the Coming Messiah Fulfilled
Jesus
Appears to Thomas (John 20:24-29)
Now
Thomas called Didymus, one of the Twelve, was not with the disciples
when Jesus came. So
the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord!”
But
he replied, “Unless I see the nail marks in His hands, and put my
finger where the nails have been, and put my hand into His side, I
will never believe.”
Eight
days later, His disciples were once again inside with the doors
locked, and Thomas was with them. Jesus came and stood among them and
said, “Peace be with you.”
Then
Jesus said to Thomas, “Put your finger here and look at My hands.
Reach out your hand and put it into My side. Stop doubting and
believe.”
Thomas
replied, “My Lord and my God!”
Jesus
said to him, “Because you have seen Me, you have believed; blessed
are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”
