SCRIPTURE SAYS…And a voice came from the
heavens, saying “This is my beloved Son, with
whom I am well pleased.” Matthew 3:17
These words reflect those in Isaiah 42:1.
Here is my servant whom I uphold, my chosen one
with whom I am pleased. Upon him I have put my
spirit; he shall bring forth justice to the nations.”
Be assured that Jesus is the chosen one, the Messiah. He
is the Way, the Truth, and the Light.
