JESUS CHRIST

SAVIOUR

Definition

The name Jesus means Saviour, derived from the ancient Hebrew, Jehoshua, found only in the New Testament and should be applied exclusively to Christ. The title CHRIST means anointed, consecrated, sacred, and is used only for the Messiah, who came in fulfillment of prophecy. Old Testament history took on a new and deeper meaning with His coming. He was born in Bethlehem into an ordinary Jewish family from Nazareth. The person, life and the work of Jesus are the subject of the New Testament (and in prophecy of the Old Testament), and as a whole, are the historical and doctrinal foundation of Christianity.
