  Christ
     anointed, the Greek translation of the Hebrew word rendered
     "Messiah" (q.v.), the official title of our Lord, occurring five
     hundred and fourteen times in the New Testament. It denotes that
     he was anointed or consecrated to his great redemptive work as
     Prophet, Priest, and King of his people. He is Jesus the Christ
     (Acts 17:3; 18:5; Matt. 22:42), the Anointed One. He is thus
     spoken of by Isaiah (61:1), and by Daniel (9:24-26), who styles
     him "Messiah the Prince."
     
       The Messiah is the same person as "the seed of the woman"
     (Gen. 3:15), "the seed of Abraham" (Gen. 22:18), the "Prophet
     like unto Moses" (Deut. 18:15), "the priest after the order of
     Melchizedek" (Ps. 110:4), "the rod out of the stem of Jesse"
     (Isa. 11:1, 10), the "Immanuel," the virgin's son (Isa. 7:14),
     "the branch of Jehovah" (Isa. 4:2), and "the messenger of the
     covenant" (Mal. 3:1). This is he "of whom Moses in the law and
     the prophets did write." The Old Testament Scripture is full of
     prophetic declarations regarding the Great Deliverer and the
     work he was to accomplish. Jesus the Christ is Jesus the Great
     Deliverer, the Anointed One, the Saviour of men. This name
     denotes that Jesus was divinely appointed, commissioned, and
     accredited as the Saviour of men (Heb. 5:4; Isa. 11:2-4; 49:6;
     John 5:37; Acts 2:22).
     
       To believe that "Jesus is the Christ" is to believe that he is
     the Anointed, the Messiah of the prophets, the Saviour sent of
     God, that he was, in a word, what he claimed to be. This is to
     believe the gospel, by the faith of which alone men can be
     brought unto God. That Jesus is the Christ is the testimony of
     God, and the faith of this constitutes a Christian (1 Cor. 12:3;
     1 John 5:1).
