Jesus Christ
In the Bible, the name "Jesus Christ" holds profound significance, combining both a personal name and a title that reflects His identity and mission. "Jesus" is derived from the Hebrew name "Yeshua," which means "Yahweh is salvation." This reflects the angelic proclamation in Matthew 1:21, where it is stated that Mary would give birth to a son, and they were to name Him Jesus because He would save His people from their sins. The name encapsulates His role as the Savior and highlights the central theme of redemption in the Christian faith.The title "Christ" is derived from the Greek word "Christos," which translates the Hebrew "Mashiach" or "Messiah." This signifies "the Anointed One," a term used in the Old Testament to describe kings, priests, and prophets who were set apart by God for a specific mission (1 Samuel 10:1). In the New Testament, Jesus is acknowledged as the fulfillment of messianic prophecies, particularly in texts like Isaiah 61:1-2 and Luke 4:18-21, where He identifies Himself as the one who brings good news to the poor, proclaims freedom for the prisoners, and recovery of sight for the blind. Thus, "Jesus Christ" encapsulates His divine nature, His role as the anointed Savior, and His fulfillment of God's promises to humanity.
