Why I Believe Jesus Is the Messiah?

I admit that I am one of those who have a doubt about the reality of Jesus as the son of G-d.

I used to believe maybe he came but not as the messiah but, like the others are saying, as a prophet or just one of the common people who had a very marvelous knowledge and wisdom about the Torah.

The truth is no one can really give a proof that can support the New Testament’s claim that one time in the world history a certain Jesus lived, and what really is making it controversial was his claim he is the son of G-d.

I listened to many people giving explanations and trying to prove the trueness of him. I also read with awe his words in the bible but still couldn’t eliminate the kernel of a doubt in my mind. Thus while I admire his teachings I could not fully accept him as the Messiah.

However, things changed when I read the book entitled “The Discovery of the Igorots” written by William Henry Scott.

The book describes the early Christianization of the Igorots who were called pagans. According to the book, the Igorots were head hunters and there were many priests who sacrificed their heads just to spread the good news about Jesus.







It took centuries before at last the powerful words of the Messiah penetrated the bottom pit of the hearts of these Igorots and finally, I could say, today almost 100% are now Christians.

Today, a residue of their practices is not yet completely removed when they do their cultural traditions. But I can proudly say that they overtook many of the people who first became Christians by their being the most civilized.

Now one can walk the streets without worrying their head will be taken away to be used as a cup for drinking rice wine. Or at least, one can walk without worrying he will be taken as slave or killed just for the fun of it. Furthermore, most of them are now believers in Christ and one cannot see a sign of their being once was a barbarian.

Yes, history can prove the veracity and powerfulness of the word of G-d. For it is not only the Igorots were once a barbarian but the whole world was. We only have to read the history books and meditate on how things changed just because of the word written in the Bible. And who spearheaded the spreading of the good news?

I therefore thank the Lord for giving His Torah to His people, and sending His beloved son Jesus to make way for us gentiles to be given the chance to be saved.

Yes, Jesus’ words itself stand as the witness for his genuineness as the Messiah sent by his Father to save the world.
