What does the title 'Christ' mean?

'Christ' is not a surname but a title that indicates Jesus's unique mission as God's chosen one. In the Old Testament, prophets would be anointed to fulfill specific roles, and Jesus came to fulfill this ultimate role as the anointed Savior. As the Christ, He was set apart to declare God's Word, intercede for His people, and rule in His Kingdom. This anointing underscores His divinely appointed mission to secure redemption for sinners through His life, death, and resurrection. A thorough understanding of Jesus's role as the Christ enhances our worship and recognition of His authority and purpose.
