Concise Bible Dictionary
:
An official title of
the
Lord
Jesus
, which became
used
as a
name
. In
John 1:41
41
He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ. (John 1:41)
;
John 4:25
25
The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things. (John 4:25)
this
title is linked
with
the
Messiah
of the
Old
Testament
The Jews and
Samaritans
were expecting THE MESSIAH, “which is called
Christ
.” We find the title “Messiah” in
Daniel 9:25-26
25
Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.
26
And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined. (Daniel 9:25‑26)
in the
prophecy
of the
Seventy Weeks
. The
Hebrew
word is mashiach and signifies “
anointed
.” This term is employed as to the Lord Jesus in
Psalm 2:2
2
The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and against his anointed, saying, (Psalm 2:2)
: the rulers
set
themselves against
Jehovah
and His “Anointed.” The same word is used in reference to the
high
priest
and the king as
God
’s anointed; but the Lord Jesus is emphatically “
the Anointed
,” this being the signification of
the word
“
the
Christ” which should be read in
many
places in the
New
Testament where the A. V. simply has “Christ.” In
the Gospels
it is nearly always “the Christ,” and
often
in the
Epistles
, except where it is Jesus Christ, or Christ Jesus which has more the character of a name. It refers to the Lord as
Man
, being anointed with the
Holy
Ghost
.
In Daniel we read that Messiah the
Prince
would be
cut off
and
have
nothing (margin), which was fulfilled when, instead of being hailed as Messiah by the Jews, He was rejected, cut off, and had, at the
time
, nothing of His Messianic honors, though, in His
death
, He laid the foundation of His future
glory
on
earth
, as well as effecting
eternal
redemption
for
the saved. We read in
1 Corinthians 12:1
1
Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant. (1 Corinthians 12:1)
2 That as the body is one, and hath many members, “so
also
is the Christ:” the
Head
and the members in the
power
and the
anointing
of the
Spirit
form but one body.
Being rejected as Messiah on earth, He is made as risen from the dead both Lord and Christ (
Acts 2:36
36
Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ. (Acts 2:36)
), and thus the counsels of God with regard to
Him
, and man in Him, are effectuated. Saints now are spoken of as having been chosen in Christ from before the foundation of
the
world
.
All
things in
heaven
and on earth are to be headed up in the Christ (
Eph. 1:10
10
That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him: (Ephesians 1:10)
). As the Christ, He is the Head of the body the
church
(
Eph. 4:15
15
But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: (Ephesians 4:15)
). But the subject
can
be merely touched on in a short article.
