The Messiah

by Douglas Connelly

Published 18 April 2015
This study guide explores some of the key passages in the Old Testament about the Messiah and their completion in the life and saving work of Jesus. These passages have had a profound effect on the imagination and worship of Christians for two thousand years. One of the greatest expressions of worship and adoration was written by George Handel. Although the focus is on the biblical passages about the coming Messiah, you will also have the option of exploring sections of Handel's adaptation of some of these passages in Messiah.

A scholar, a failure, a blind man and an adulterer, these are some of the people in this guide whose lives were changed forever, when they met Jesus. Looking at their lives gives us hope as we find ourselves living in the backwash of failure or dealing with an emptiness nothing in life seems to fill. The good news is that Jesus is waiting to meet us too. 8 studies for individuals or groups. Features questions for starting group discussions and for meeting God in personal reflection, as well as a "now or later" section in each study.
