The Messiah Would Be A Willing Sacrifice For Us
 God's Promise Fulfillment of God's Promise

The Messiah Would Ascend To Heaven And Sit At The Right Hand Of God
 God's Promise Fulfillment of God's Promise
The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.  Psalm 110:1

 

And when He had spoken these things, while they beheld, He was taken up; and a could received Him out of their sight.  Acts 1:9

So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, He was received up into Heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.  Mark 16:19

The evidence is overwhelming. 

 Yeshua is the Messiah of Israel, promised by God. 

If you were to put this case before a trial judge and jury, you have easily satisfied the burden of proof.   There are over 50 promises used in this presentation.  Many offered more than one account, that our Messiah has fulfilled God's promises as revealed to God's prophets centuries before.  All God's Promises revealed to His Prophets are at least 400 years prior to their fulfillment by Jesus.  Some promises go back to the time of Moses,  over 1400 years before their fulfillment.

In addition to the testimonial accounts presented here, you also have eyewitness accounts of His resurrection in that over 500 people witnessed, and therefore could testify to His resurrection:

"And that He was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve:  After that He was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some have fallen asleep.  And that He was seen of James and then all the apostles.  And last of all He was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time.  For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.  But by the grace of God I am what I am:  And His grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I labored more abundantly that they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me."  1 Corinthians 15:6 - 10

Can you truly discredit over 500 witnesses that could testify to seeing our Messiah after His death and burial?

In fact, it wasn't just a passing occurrence.  Jesus spent forty days after His resurrection teaching His disciples about the things pertaining to the Kingdom of God:

"Until the day in which He was taken up, after that He through the Holy Spirit had given commandments unto the apostles whom He had chosen:  To whom also He showed Himself alive after His passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God" Acts 1:2 - 3
