261 - Daily and Yearly Preparation for Heaven
Por Jonathan S. Rose
Jesus
It is relatively well known that "Jesus" means "Savior" and "Christ" means "the anointed," but there are spiritual meanings that extend well beyond these natural meanings. "Jesus" represents the Lord's divine goodness, His perfect desire for all good to come to us. "Christ" represents the Lord's divine truth, the perfect depth of ideas and understanding that spring from His goodness and can lead us back to His goodness. Those aspects of the Lord -- goodness and understanding -- are reflected in us in what we commonly think of as "heart" (what we want, our goodness or evil) and "mind" (what we think, know and argue). We are called on to seek a marriage between those two, so that ultimately we can desire what is good and have the wisdom to recognize and do it. In the Lord, of course, that marriage is and has always been complete. His goodness and his understanding are one, and make up all of who He is -- together they describe His humanity, just as in us they describe our humanity. So when the two names are used together as "Jesus Christ," they represent the divine human, which is the Lord in the human form he took in this world, and which He still has in heaven.
