We call him Jesus Christ or the Messiah. Christ is from the Greek word cristos. In the Hebrew, christos is written as messiah, meaning anointed! According to Exodus, the first ones who were to be anointed were Aaron and his sons to serve at the duty of priests. Later, both Saul, the first king of Israel, and David, the second king of Israel, were anointed with oil by Samuel. Moreover, we find a very different kind of Messiah in the Prophets. So when we Christians believe that Jesus is the Messiah, what does that really mean?
