Jesus Messiah
Chris Tomlin
He became sin, who knew no sin
That we might become His righteousness
He humbled himself and carried the cross

Love so amazing, love so amazing
Jesus Messiah, name above all names
Blessed redeemer, Emmanuel
The rescue for sinners, the ransom from Heaven
Jesus Messiah, Lord of all

His body the bread, his blood the wine
Broken and poured out all for love
The whole earth trembled,
And the veil was torn
Love so amazing,
Love so amazing, yeah

Jesus Messiah, name above all names
Blessed redeemer, Emmanuel
The rescue for sinners, the ransom from Heaven
Jesus Messiah, Lord of all

All our hope is in You,
All our hope is in You
All the glory to You, God,
The light of the world

Jesus Messiah, name above all names
Blessed redeemer, Emmanuel
The rescue for sinners, the ransom from Heaven
Jesus Messiah, Lord of all

Jesus Messiah, Lord of all




You′re the Lord of all
The Lord of all

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Jesus Messiah" by Chris Tomlin convey the powerful message of Jesus Christ's sacrifice and salvation. The first verse speaks of Jesus, who was sinless, becoming sin itself in order for humanity to receive righteousness. This references the concept of Jesus taking on the sins of the world on the cross, allowing believers to be made righteous through faith in Him. The lyrics emphasize the humility and sacrifice of Jesus as he willingly carried the cross, demonstrating his love for humanity.


The chorus of the song exalts Jesus as the name above all names and the blessed redeemer, Emmanuel. "Jesus Messiah" praises Jesus as the one who rescues sinners and serves as the ransom from Heaven. This highlights the significance of Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection in providing salvation for all. The lyrics also acknowledge the trembling of the earth and the tearing of the veil in the temple when Jesus died, symbolizing the profound impact of his sacrifice.


The second verse continues to emphasize the love displayed by Jesus, as his body is described as the bread and his blood as the wine, symbolizing the Last Supper and the institution of the Holy Communion. Jesus' body was broken and his blood poured out as an expression of his immense love for humanity. The lyrics celebrate this love as amazing and awe-inspiring.

When the true messiah comes (not in the second coming, but the first one) this will happen:


1 - The exiled Jews will return to Israel (but 70 years after Christ the Jews were exiled, the opposite happened)


He will lift up a banner among the nations and gather the outcasts of Israel, and gather the dispersed of Judah from the four ends of the earth.

(Isaiah, 11)

_________________________________

2 - The knowledge of God will fill the earth. (this has never happened, there is a lot of evil in the world yet)


No harm or harm will be done in all my holy mountain; for the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.

(Isaiah, 11)

_________________________________

3 - Animals will not eat other animals anymore


The wolf shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie with the kid; and the calf, and the young lion, and the fatling will live together; and a little boy will lead them.7. The cow and the bear will graze together, and their young will lie down together; and the lion will eat straw like the ox.

(Isaiah, 11)

_________________________________

4 - There will be a resurrection of the dead (never happened)


Therefore prophesy, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will open your graves, yea, I will bring you out of your graves, O my people, and will bring you into the land of Israel.

(Ezekiel, 37)

_________________________________

5 - Reconstruction of the temple in Israel (it has not happened yet on the other hand  at the time of Jesus the temple that was there was destroyed 70ad)


I will make with them a pact of peace, which will be a perpetual pact. And I will establish them, and multiply them, and set my sanctuary among them forever.

(Ezekiel, 37)

_________________________________

6 - The Messiah will do justice to the poor and kill the wicked (Jesus did not do justice in the world, he didn't kill anyone and unfortunately he was killed by Rome over 2000 years ago)


but he will judge with justice the poor, and will decide with equity in defense of the meek of the earth; and he will smite the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips he will kill the wicked.

_________________________________

7 - There will be an era of full peace, without wars (It never happened)


And he will judge among the nations, and will rebuke many peoples; and these shall turn their swords into plowshares, and their spears into sickles; one nation will not lift up sword against another nation, nor will they learn war any more.

(Isaiah 2)

_________________________________

8 - The peoples will go to Israel to learn the commandments of God with the Jewish people.

(This never happened, in fact the majority of people always hated and persecuted the Jews, eg Romans, Inquisition, Nazism, Palestinians, atheist and some lunatic christians etc...)


Many peoples will go, and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob, that he may teach us his ways, and that we may walk in his paths; for out of Zion the law shall go forth, and out of Jerusalem the word of the LORD.

(Isaiah 2)

_________________________________

9 - The Messiah will be a descendant of King David and will be an active king when he comes


In that day the root of Jesse will be set for a standard of the peoples, to which the nations will resort; His abodes will be glorious to you.

(Isaiah, 11.10)

_________________________________

(But Jesus was never a king, he died and he was the son only of Mary (virgin) who was not a descendant of King David, Joseph who would be the descendant is not the father of Jesus.)

_________________________________

10 - The Messiah will make the people know and keep God's commandments (Jesus is adored as higher than God's law)


Also my servant David will reign over them, and they will all have one shepherd; they shall walk in my judgments, and keep my statutes, and observe them.

(Ezekiel, 37)


(On the other hand, Jesus' followers see the Law of God as useless , ("Old Testament") placing the responsibility for their "salvation" in faith on a person or blaming the evil of the world on Satan (the accuser) who actually is only an angel who reports to God the ERRORS and SINS THAT PEOPLE commit, he does not create the evil of the world according the the Hebrew scriptures)

_________________________________

11 - Immanuel's prophecy is not about a future messiah but in fact about a sign to King Acab of a child who would be born of a YOUNG (alma עלמה) (not a virgin Betulah בְּתוּלִים ) woman in Isaiah's days as a sign that before this child be aware of right and wrong God already would have destroyed the enemies of Israel at that time.

("wrong" translation and prophecy out of context)

Read Ezekiel 7 in full


7.16. For before the boy knows how to reject evil and choose good, the land of the two kings before whom you tremble with fear will be desolate.

_________________________________

12-Both the Jews and the peoples WILL immediately RECOGNIZE the Messiah when he comes. (This did not happen with Jesus, since Jews, Arabs, Indians, Chinese and many many other peoples do not recognize Jesus as messiah neither as a prophet)


 And he was given dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that ALL peoples, nations, and tongues might serve him; his dominion is an eternal dominion, which will not pass away, and his kingdom such that it will not be destroyed.

(Daniel, 7)

_________________________________

13 - Miracles or signs do not indicate the true messiah


To rise up among you prophet, or dreamer of dreams, and announce to you a sign or wonder,

and the sign or wonder of which I have spoken to you shall come to pass, and he shall say, Let us go after other gods whom ye have never known, and let us serve them,

ye shall not hear the words of that prophet, or that dreamer; for the Lord your God is testing you, to know whether you love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul.

(Deuteronomy, 13)

_________________________________


14 - The famous prophecy of the suffering servant of Isaiah 53 does not talk about the Messiah, it talks about the suffering of the people of Israel (the servant of God) coming out of Babylon


Read Isaiah 40 to 53


and he said unto me, Thou art my servant; thou art Israel, by whom I shall be glorified.

(Isaiah, 49)

_________________________________


15- The bible and the prophets REJECT human sacrifice, because no one can die to pay for the sin of another person, much less all the people of humanity


 Parents will not be put to death for their children, nor children for their parents; each will die for his own sin.

(Deuteronomy, 24)

_________________________________


16 - According to the Bible itself when the true messiah comes, he will not be considered God incarnate or a part of God, he will be just a king, an ordinary human being (not divine) with a mission. Because God is not a human being, everything that exists is within God, the Creator of everything.

That's why He is omnipresent, He is everywhere because all places are within Him.


 God is not man, so he lies; nor son of man, that he might repent.

(Numbers, 23)
