In the Berean Standard Bible , "This One" can denote a person of divine or prophetic significance, a chosen leader, or a figure of salvation. Understanding the usage of "This One" requires examining the context in which it appears, as it often points to a fulfillment of God's promises or a pivotal moment in biblical history.<br><br><b>Old Testament References:</b><br><br>1. <b><a href="/genesis/5-29.htm">Genesis 5:29</a> :</b> "He named him Noah, saying, 'This one will comfort us in the labor and toil of our hands caused by the ground that the LORD has cursed.'" Here, "This One" refers to Noah, who is seen as a figure of hope and relief from the curse placed upon the ground. Noah's role as a righteous man and the builder of the ark underscores his significance in God's plan for humanity.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/micah/5-4.htm">Micah 5:4-5</a> :</b> "He will stand and shepherd His flock in the strength of the LORD, in the majestic name of the LORD His God. And they will live securely, for then His greatness will extend to the ends of the earth. And He will be their peace." In this prophetic passage, "This One" is understood to refer to the coming Messiah, who will shepherd His people and bring peace. This messianic prophecy is often associated with Jesus Christ, who fulfills these roles in the New Testament.<br><br><b>New Testament References:</b><br><br>1. <b><a href="/john/1-33.htm">John 1:33</a> :</b> "I myself did not know Him, but the One who sent me to baptize with water told me, 'The man on whom you see the Spirit descend and rest is He who will baptize with the Holy Spirit.'" In this context, "This One" refers to Jesus Christ, identified by John the Baptist as the one who will baptize with the Holy Spirit. This identification marks Jesus as the awaited Messiah and the Son of God.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/acts/4-11.htm">Acts 4:11</a> :</b> "This Jesus is 'the stone you builders rejected, which has become the cornerstone.'" Here, "This One" is Jesus, who is described as the cornerstone of faith, despite being rejected by the leaders of His time. This reference highlights Jesus' foundational role in the establishment of the Church and the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy.<br><br><b>Theological Significance:</b><br><br>The phrase "This One" often carries a weight of divine selection and purpose. It signifies individuals chosen by God to fulfill specific roles in His redemptive plan. In the Old Testament, figures like Noah and prophetic references to the Messiah illustrate God's ongoing work through chosen individuals. In the New Testament, Jesus Christ is the ultimate fulfillment of "This One," embodying the culmination of God's promises and the hope of salvation for humanity.<br><br><b>Conclusion:</b><br><br>The use of "This One" in the Bible underscores the importance of recognizing God's chosen instruments in His divine narrative. Whether referring to patriarchs, prophets, or the Messiah Himself, "This One" points to the unfolding of God's plan and the assurance of His promises to His people.</div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><a name="sub" id="sub"></a><div class="vheading2">Subtopics</div><p class="pspc"><a href="/topical/t/this.htm">This</a></p><a name="rel" id="rel"></a><div class="vheading2">Related Terms</div><p class="pspc2"><a href="/topical/e/elijah.htm">Elijah (104 Occurrences)</a></p><p class="pspc2"><a href="/topical/t/thistle.htm">Thistle (3 Occurrences)</a></p><p class="pspc2"><a href="/topical/g/galilee.htm">Galilee (73 Occurrences)</a></p><p class="pspc2"><a href="/topical/t/this.htm">This (32388 Occurrences)</a></p><p class="pspc2"><a href="/topical/e/enemessar.htm">Enemessar</a></p><p class="pspc2"><a href="/topical/c/calah.htm">Calah (2 Occurrences)</a></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="left"><a href="/topical/t/this_mountain.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="This Mountain"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="This Mountain" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/topical/t/this_one_and_that_one.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="This one and that one"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="This one and that one" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div> <div id="mdd"><div align="center"><div class="bot2"><table align="center" width="100%"><tr><td><div align="center"><script id="3d27ed63fc4348d5b062c4527ae09445"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=51ce25d5-1a8c-424a-8695-4bd48c750f35&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script> <script id="b817b7107f1d4a7997da1b3c33457e03"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=cb0edd8b-b416-47eb-8c6d-3cc96561f7e8&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-2'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-0' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-3'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-1' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div align="center" id='div-gpt-ad-1531425649696-0'> </div><br /><br /> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:inline-block;width:200px;height:200px" data-ad-client="ca-pub-3753401421161123" data-ad-slot="3592799687"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script></div></td></tr></table></div></div></div> <br /><br /> <div align="center"> <div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhnew2.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
