What does it mean to call Jesus 'the blessed one'?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus is called 'the blessed one' because all blessings come from Him, as affirmed in Ephesians 1:3.

'The blessed one' refers to Jesus Christ's position as the source of all divine blessings. Ephesians 1:3 states that all spiritual blessings are given in Christ, highlighting His preeminence and the centrality of His role in the divine economy. This title also conveys that He is blessed by God and recognized as the ultimate recipient of glory, reinforcing the notion that every blessing flows from Him and is realized in Him. Consequently, recognizing Jesus as 'the blessed one' invites believers to direct their gratitude and worship solely towards Him.
