Christians believe Jesus to be the son of God and was sent to the world to save them from their sins. They believing that his coming was known for hundreds of years before he actually descended. Christians believe that a lot of prophets in the old testament foresaw his coming. Below are some of the prophecies about Jesus.
It was predicted that all the nations of the world would be blessed through the lineage of Abraham. This is why Abraham is considered the father of all nations. This is according to Genesis 12:3. This prophecy did come to pass in the book of Acts 3:25-26 in the new testament, which states that all of the offspring of the prophets will be blessed through the covenants their fathers made with God.
Blessing Abraham meant that the savior of the world would have to come from his lineage. Abraham was blessed with Isaac and God used Isaac to bless the rest of the world. It may have taken centuries but somewhere along the line came the great king David whom Jesus would be associated with. Matthew1:1 refers to him as Jesus the Messiah son of David, son of Abraham.
The prophet Isaiah foretold that Son of God would be born of a virgin girl. This is in the book of Isaiah 7:14. Later in the new testament, an angel appeared to Mary the mother of Son of God and informed her she would get pregnant. She was told it would be through the power of the holy spirit. This all happened in the book of Luke 1:35.
It was foretold that at some point, the Messiah would go to Egypt. This is written in the book of Hosea 11.1. This happened almost immediately after Jesus was born and the wise men sought him. They asked about him to the then king Herod, who felt threatened by the child and ordered the killing of all baby boys below two years of age. They went back to Israel after Herod died according to matthew2:14-15.
Christ was to be inated in Bethlehem. A prophet of the lord known as Micah prophesied that he would be given in Bethlehem of Judea. This is according to the book of Micah 5:2. It eventually came to pass as the teachers of the law supported this statement by referring to the previous prophecy. He indeed would be born in Bethlehem as indicated on Matthew 2:4-6.
The whole purpose of Jesus coming into the world was to save humankind from the sins they had been led into by the devil. He was to destroy the work of the devil as indicated on 1st John 3:18. The enmity between God and the devil came about when the devil influenced the woman to sin and getting sent away from the garden of Eden. According to Genesis 3:15.
People used to place all of their sins on a blemish-free animal, mostly purely white colored and then sacrifice it to God as a way of repenting. This is according to Exodus 12:5. However, Son of God came to the world to take on the sins of every human being. He was a sinless soul and was, therefore, the ultimate sacrifice. Hebrews 9:14.
