The entire set of Scripture called the Biblical canon, reveals the sharpening promise of God’s Messiah, the Seed who will redeem the family of man back home to God. When all the promises of Messiah in the Hebrew Scriptures are fulfilled in the coming of Jesus as this Messiah, the testimony of His life and works were recorded by the Lord’s apostles, eyewitnesses to Jesus, His crucifixion, and His resurrection: Matthew, sent to the Torah observant Jews of Jerusalem; Mark, preached by Peter and sent to the Jewish diaspora; Luke, preached by Paul as collected from eyewitness accounts by Luke for a mixed audience of Jew and Gentile; and John, sent to a Gentile audience at a time when Jerusalem was no longer under Jewish rule.

After the eyewitness testimony of the Gospels, we are given the epistles, the collection of teachings, that is, proven “doctrine” given to the churches of Jesus Christ to instruct them in matters of faith and life. We present here a selection of Paul’s teachings on Jesus as the Messiah from Corinthians to Titus, sound teachings meant to help the disciples of Jesus Messiah grow and bear fruit in their lives. Learning these doctrines and then learning themselves to teach the Word has equipped the disciples of Jesus Messiah through the ages, laying before them the blessed hope of their Lord’s eventual appearing in glory to bring His Kingdom and its eternal reward!
