(1.) The Few Events Recorded about Jesus' Life:
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Jesus lived approximately 12,053 days, yet the New Testament only documents 31 days of His life. In Jesus' first thirty years, just eighteen events were reported. In the next year, another eighteen events, in the following year another, twenty-seven events were reported. In Jesus' last year, over one-hundred-fifty events were reported, seventy-five of them occurred in the last few days of his life. The atonement is the message, anything else is added to enhance that message.

(2.) Jesus' Activities Connected to Jewish/biblical Holidays.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Connecting us to the symbols of the Old Covenant, John links almost everything Jesus does to a Biblical holiday; Passover, Pentecost, Sukkoth/Yom Kippur (Feast of Tabernacles) and even a non-biblical holiday of Hanukkah (Feast of [Temple] Dedication). We also find that John refers to light twenty-four times, to water twenty-eight times, to life fifty-two times, to lamb three times and to bread seventeen times. These metaphors were used prolifically as prophetic images of the life, mission, and gift of the Messiah.

(3.) The Old Testament–Key to Recognizing the Messiah.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

The word for spirit in Hebrew is Ruach Elohim, the breath - the wind of God. Moses knew that gift well and desired that everyone would have it. ". . . Would God that all the LORD'S people were prophets, and that the LORD would put his spirit upon them!" (Numbers 11:29) There are some people who do not have that gift yet, and those that do must exercise patience and love because eventually more will get that gift . . . and be very happy. The gift of belief comes from God. True belief reveals who the real Messiah is.
