Synopsis

The Promised One: the Mystery of the Messiah takes readers on a guided journey through the books of Genesis and Exodus, focusing on God’s relationship with His chosen people and His gracious promise to send a Kinsman-Redeemer, the Messiah, to bless all peoples.

The study goes step by step as God makes and keeps covenantal promises to Abraham and his descendants and reveals his loving, just, and compassionate character. The closing chapter examines important clues found in the Psalms and books of the prophets about the identity and mission of the promised Messiah.

The Promised One offers a fresh look at the grace and unfailing love of God in the Old Testament and allows readers to:

• Discover the purposes and importance of covenantal relationships in biblical times;
• Learn the “love” language of covenantal relationships;
• Understand the conflicting worldviews of God’s chosen people and neighboring nations;
• Explore the promises of God and His faithfulness in keeping them.
