Christ
In the Bible, the term "Christ" comes from the Greek word "Christos," which translates the Hebrew term "Mashiach," or "Messiah," meaning "anointed one." This title signifies Jesus as the one anointed by God to fulfill the roles of prophet, priest, and king. The Old Testament prophecies, such as Isaiah 61:1-3, speak of a coming anointed figure who would bring deliverance and salvation, establishing God's kingdom on earth. In the New Testament, Jesus is explicitly identified as the Christ. For instance, in Matthew 16:16, Peter declares, "You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God," affirming Jesus' identity and mission as the fulfillment of the Messianic prophecies. The significance of Jesus as the Christ encompasses his role as the Redeemer who brings salvation through his death and resurrection, as highlighted in passages like John 3:16 and Romans 10:9. Thus, "Christ" embodies the hope of salvation and the realization of God's promises to humanity.
