Abstract

The hypothesis of this project is that, without denying the singular messianic work of Jesus, Jesus did expect his followers to be messianic. A resultant question is raised: if the early church did express a messianic self-awareness, how should the contemporary church be influenced by the idea of an 'annointed' or messianic ministry in terms of preaching and community? The method of study is to become conversant with the messianic antecedents found in the Old Testament and late Judaism. Attention is then turned to Jesus and the Synoptics as both re-interpreting the emerging messianic ideas. Messianic preaching today incorporates both speaker and hearer into the messianic continuum. Once the church has stepped forward into this new self-awareness, preaching and congregational life will be influenced by the great messianic themes: anointed, power from on high, authority, servant, justice, suffering, light to the nations, and people of God.
