messianic dimension of Jesus, biblical figure and title From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Christianity, the Christ (/kraɪst/; Greek: Χριστός, romanized: Khristós, lit. 'the Anointed One') is a title for the savior and redeemer who would bring salvation to the Jewish people and mankind. Christ is the Greek translation of the Hebrew title Messiah (Hebrew: מָשִׁיחַ, romanized: Māšîah; anointed one), the figure promised by God to the Jewish people and mankind for the salvation of the world. Christians believe that Jesus of Nazareth is the Jewish Messiah called Christ of the Christian Old Testament and fulfilled the messianic prophecies of Christian tradition. Christ, used by Christians both as a name and as a title, is synonymous with Jesus.[1][2][3]
