This same Jesus
One of the beliefs of the Jews during Jesus' time, and of many Jewish people today is that there will be two messiahs: a suffering messiah like Joseph, who was rejected by his own, as described in Isaiah 53:3, and a conquering messiah like King David, from the tribe of Judah, as we are told in 2 Samuel 7:12-13 that the ancestry of the messiah would come from the line of David.
This could be one of the reasons John the Baptist asked in Matthew 11:3 "Art thou he that should come, or do we look for another?" Jesus sent to John the answer that was needed in verse five. "The blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them."
In the book of Acts confirmation was given again that Jesus was the Messiah given, and there would not be another messiah. In chapter one, verse eleven, as the disciple watched Jesus' ascension back to the Heavenly Father, the two angels in white apparel said, "Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, which was taken up from you shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven."
This Same Jesus who conquered death, hell, and the grave, which was despised and rejected, and who will return as King of Kings and Lord of Lords, will come again in like manner. "For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words." [1st Thessalonians 4:16-18]
I comfort you with these words:
