In the book of Isaiah, there are numerous prophecies, in which foretell of a Messiah whom shall save the Jewish people. According to Isaiah, a virgin woman will give birth to a son, who will be a descendent of David.

Jesus fulfills all of the requirements of a Jewish Messiah in the prophecies of Isaiah. In the town of Nazareth, a young woman named Mary, who was betrothed to Joseph, was visited by an angel. This angel told her that she would conceive a baby, which would be the son of God. Joseph didn’t believe that she had stayed faithful to him, and was going to privately divorce her. An angel appeared to Joseph and told him of God’s plan. Mary and Joseph then traveled to Bethlehem to register for the census. When they reached Bethlehem, Mary had gone into labor, and they tried to find a place to have the baby. They found a stable, and then Jesus was born and was visited by shepherds and wise men.

While they were puzzled , two men in dazzling garments appeared to them asking, ‘Why do you seek the living one among the dead? He is not here, but he has been raised.†( NAB Luke 24:2-6).
