The New Testament is the main source in understanding Christology which is the science of theology that talks about Christ the Messiah. Talking about Christology, the letter to Hebrews has the highest Christology. In Hebrews 2:13 the author understands it as "Jesus' relationship to the Father and his solidarity with the children" which is the result of a quote from the OT in Isaiah 8:17-18.

The Messiah came as a leader who brought His people into prosperity and peace. In the New Testament the Messiah came as a bringer of salvation for mankind. He came to free humans from sin and humans live in peace.
