Christ is an English rendering of the Greek word Christos, a title: Anointed One or Messiah. (Some English Bibles translate Christos as Messiah.) The Jewish people in Jesus's time awaited a Messiah, a person endowed with a special portion of God's Spirit, to deliver them from oppression and establish God's kingdom. Jesus is God's chosen Messiah for the whole world.
