Abstract
Messiah is a Hebrew word that means “anointed one.” The equivalent word in Greek is Christ. So that his readers would clearly understand that Messiah and Christ were the same, John equated Messiah and Christ in his writings: “We have found the Messias [Messiah], which is, being interpreted, the Christ” (John 1:41); also, “I know that Messias [= Messiah] cometh, which is called Christ” (John 4:25).
Several New Testament passages demonstrate that Jesus is the Messiah (= Christ). Examples of such passages are set forth in the accompanying chart. Furthermore, and significantly, the name/title Jesus Christ is a common expression in the New Testament—attested 187 times. Moreover, many of the charts in this volume set forth that Jesus Christ is the anticipated Messiah of the Old Testament.
