Jesus Christ, the central figure of Christianity, is the Son of God who became incarnate, died for the sins of humanity, and rose from the dead, providing salvation for all who believe in Him.
Jesus Christ is the central figure of the New Testament and the foundation of the Christian faith. He is the eternal Son of God who became incarnate, being born of the Virgin Mary in Bethlehem. Jesus lived a sinless life and performed many miracles, demonstrating His divine power and authority. He taught with wisdom and authority, proclaiming the Kingdom of God and calling people to repentance and faith. Jesus faced opposition from religious leaders and was ultimately crucified under Pontius Pilate. However, on the third day, He rose from the dead, appearing to His disciples and commissioning them to spread the gospel message. Jesus ascended into heaven and is now seated at the right hand of God the Father, interceding for believers. He is the Savior of the world, offering forgiveness of sins and eternal life to all who put their faith in Him. The New Testament also teaches that Jesus will return in glory to judge the living and the dead and to establish His eternal Kingdom. He is the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies concerning the Messiah and is the perfect revelation of God's love and grace to humanity.
Anointed, the Greek translation of the Hebrew word rendered “Messiah” (q.v.), the official title of our Lord, occurring five hundred and fourteen times in the New Testament. It denotes that he was anointed or consecrated to his great redemptive work as Prophet, Priest, and King of his people. He is Jesus the Christ (Acts 17:3; 18:5; Matt. 22:42), the Anointed One. He is thus spoken of by Isaiah (61:1), and by Daniel (9:24-26), who styles him “Messiah the Prince.”
The Messiah is the same person as “the seed of the woman” (Gen. 3:15), “the seed of Abraham” (Gen. 22:18), the “Prophet like unto Moses” (Deut. 18:15), “the priest after the order of Melchizedek” (Ps. 110:4), “the rod out of the stem of Jesse” (Isa. 11:1, 10), the “Immanuel,” the virgin’s son (Isa. 7:14), “the branch of Jehovah” (Isa. 4:2), and “the messenger of the covenant” (Mal. 3:1). This is he “of whom Moses in the law and the prophets did write.” The Old Testament Scripture is full of prophetic declarations regarding the Great Deliverer and the work he was to accomplish. Jesus the Christ is Jesus the Great Deliverer, the Anointed One, the Saviour of men. This name denotes that Jesus was divinely appointed, commissioned, and accredited as the Saviour of men (Heb. 5:4; Isa. 11:2-4; 49:6; John 5:37; Acts 2:22).
To believe that “Jesus is the Christ” is to believe that he is the Anointed, the Messiah of the prophets, the Saviour sent of God, that he was, in a word, what he claimed to be. This is to believe the gospel, by the faith of which alone men can be brought unto God. That Jesus is the Christ is the testimony of God, and the faith of this constitutes a Christian (1 Cor. 12:3; 1 John 5:1).
