Jesus Christ, Messenger of the Covenant
Lord … shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, Mal. 3:1.
1 Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the Lord of hosts.
I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of … Israel, Matt. 15:24.
24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
I must preach the kingdom … for therefore am I sent, Luke 4:43.
43 And he said unto them, I must preach the kingdom of God to other cities also: for therefore am I sent.
works … bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me, John 5:36 (7:29; 8:42; 10:36; 11:42; 17:3).
36 ¶ But I have greater witness than that of John: for the works which the Father hath given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me.
29 But I know him: for I am from him, and he hath sent me.
42 Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.
36 Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?
42 And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me.
3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.
