What Kind of Messiah? What Kind of Kingdom?
No full textIn the Nicene Creed we confess, “I believe in one Lord, Jesus the Messiah (χριστός).” However, what does it mean for Jesus to be the Messiah? It is a commonplace of much Christian preaching and interpretation to distinguish sharply between what Jews of Jesus’ day expected from the Messiah and how Jesus fulfills this role. Some go so far as to say that while the Jews expected a violent, conquering messiah to rule over an earthly kingdom, Jesus redefines what it means to be the Messiah and rejects the messianic expectations of his day.
In this sectional, Rev. Kendall Davis will discuss why this commonplace understanding of Jesus’ messiahship contradicts both the Gospels and the first several centuries of Christian interpretation. While the Gospels do present Jesus fulfilling his vocation as messiah in surprising ways, they do not reject Jewish messianic expectations. They assume that Jesus is king of an earthly, political kingdom who conquers his enemies. Davis will discuss how this commonplace misunderstanding of Jesus’ messianic vocation arises from a failure to understand the second coming of Jesus among several other core Christian doctrines
