Day 1: Introduction to the Messiah - The Foundational Covenant

Welcome to Immerse's inaugural episode, where we explore the pivotal fifth covenant introduced in the New Testament, a continuation yet contrast to the old covenants with Noah, Abraham, Moses, and David. Today's reading covers an overview of Jesus' role as the Messiah, fulfilling ancient prophecies and embodying God's intentions for humanity. We embark on the extraordinary narratives documented by Luke and the early life of John the Baptist and Jesus, set against the backdrop of Jewish history and Roman rule. Join us in this sacred journey as prophecies are fulfilled, and new pathways to salvation are illuminated.
