Jesus, the Messiah

I was surprised to find out that Jesus is also the Messiah of the Islam. I heard of Islam has a Messiah when I read about the Middle East people, all that they did on behalf of God, is to prepare for the coming of their Messiah.

I was curious that I asked the Muslim cleaner that helped me to clear my cupboard, is he expecting his Messiah to come. He told me yes. But I forgot to ask him who is his Messiah.

I got to know another Malay lady that I decided to ask her who is her Messiah; was it Mohammad or Jesus or who? As I have not read the Qur'an, I have no clue about who their Messiah is.

Well, I was so surprised to know that their Messiah is Jesus!!! Same as Christianity!!! So today I went to the web to find out why Jesus is the Islam Messiah.

What I found out from their doctrine was Jesus was born like Adam but given the special anointing to perform signs and wonders. But the Qur'an said he was born from cray like Adam!!! He did not go for crucifixion as God with His Power, saved him and another in his likeness took his place!!!

I am not here to condemn their doctrine. From the bible, God blow His Breath into man (made from cray) and Adam was formed. But Holy Spirit came on Mary and Mary was pregnant with Jesus.

The Almighty Son of God, that agreed to come on earth to redeem mankind of all sin and lawlessness, His Mercy and His Grace, to become Man to redeem mankind was swept away in the Qur'an. How then should Muslim get their salvation? And this was told to me by another Malay lady that when they died for god, they would get their salvation for them and their family and 72 virgins will be waiting to serve him.

It talks about sacrificing the life of man to get the salvation, as if man has such ability and the goodness to redeem another man. After all, we were all under the curse of the ground to die someday, how can one such man redeem any other man when he himself is not of any godly nature!

The bible said Adam had sinned against God and the ground is therefore cursed. Romans 5:17 said that 'For if because of one man's trespass, death reigned through that one, much more surely will those who receive [God's] overflowing Grace (Unmerited favour) and the Free Gift of Righteousness [putting them into Right Standing with Himself] reign as Kings in Life through the One Man Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One).'

If man could do the job, Lord Jesus need not come down to earth and need not go to the Cross!!! It was precisely man could not that Lord Jesus Christ must come down to earth to die as Man, so that man through accepting Him can be fully redeemed.

I read all they do in Middle East is to set the ground for their Messiah to return. But does God need man help for His Own Return to Earth? If God need man to do something for His Return, it means he himself don't even have the ability to come at all. He need man to do something for him.

However, Lord just want us to give up self so that He could be full in us. This is about giving up the self in ourselves and let Him who is in our Spirit Realm come out to be God in us. When He can take over us, He will do Greater things through us. We just need to yoke with Him. He is the One doing and we are the one resting in Him. This is His Leading of me all these years. To give up self and let Him take over me!!! Praise Jesus!!!

I pray that mankind will come to realise who is the real Messiah!!! Salvation is through Him at the Cross and was being judged for us all our sins, sickness, pains and curses. Without His Work on the Cross, how are we to redeem ourselves?

How can God send Him down to do His Will in Psalm 22 saved him and get another man who was sinful to take over Him? If man could redeem man, Jesus need not come down at all!!! What for?
