About this book
What a profound mystery! An undercover Messiah? While an undercover agent may assume a deceptive identity, an "undercover boss" assumes an identity that is merely unrecognized. The concept of an undercover Messiah suggests that he assumed a role that was largely unanticipated, though it was prophesied centuries earlier in Israel's Scriptures.Messiah was to come as the Prophet like Moses, the Priest like Melchizedek, and the King like David. Yet in his role as the Prophet, he went largely unrecognized--in his day and today. Changing water to wine may seem undramatic, but Moses's first miracle in Egypt was changing water to blood, symbolizing judgment and death. Jesus changed water to wine, symbolizing the joy of redemption. With this, Jesus presented his calling card.After his resurrection, when Jesus encountered his confused and disheartened disciples, he began with Moses! This book unpacks Jesus as Prophet, Priest, and King and the kingdom he will establish as the future inheritance of believers. With insights drawn from the latest scholarly research, it offers relevant, life-changing wisdom for these turbulent times.
