The idea of Jesus being the Anointed/Christ/Messiah permeates the New Testament, but the title Anointed/Christ/Messiah was not usually applied to him prior to his death and resurrection. This is very apparent when the distribution of the term christos is examined. It comes only seven times in Mark’s account of the life of Jesus, but 65 times in Pau...
Within the New Testament the title Anointed/Christ/Messiah is strongly linked to the concept of kingship, an association that has a long history in Jewish tradition. The Old Testament book of Samuel records how Saul and then David were anointed with oil by the prophet Samuel to signify their divine appointment to rule over the Israelites (e.g. 1 Sa...
The idea of Jesus being the anointed king, who belongs to the line of David, is intimately linked to his identification as the “son of God.” Mark’s Gospel, in particular, develops the theme of Jesus as God’s son, noting how God himself speaks of Jesus as his son when Jesus is baptized (Mark 1:9-11; cf. Matt 3:13-17; Luke 3:21-22; John 1:32-34) and ...
While the New Testament writers unanimously affirm that Jesus is the Anointed/Christ/Messiah, the four Gospels are consistent in observing that Jesus himself avoided using the title mešîḥā’/christos “anointed one” of himself. He preferred rather to use the designation “son of man.” The expression “son of man” comes 70 times in the Synoptic Gospels ...
Within a culture that associated the coming of a Jewish king, descended from the line of David, with military and political domination, Jesus was exceptionally wary of being misconstrued. With good reason, he told Pilate, “My kingdom is not of this world” (John 18:36). Jesus did not come to establish his rule through military power, but by giving h...
The evidence of the New Testament regarding Jesus as Anointed/Christ/Messiah reveals that it was only after his death, resurrection and ascension that his followers publicly proclaimed him as the promised king. Jettisoning contemporary expectations of a Davidic king who would restore the fortunes of Israel, Peter proclaimed on the day of Pentecost ...
Dec 30, 2020 · The word “Messiah” comes from a Hebrew word meaning “the anointed one” or “the chosen one.” It embodies the Jewish hope of a coming deliverer predicted in Old Testament prophecy, which was fulfilled in Jesus the Messiah.

Dec 10, 2018 · As Christians, we believe Jesus is the anointed Messiah, the Davidic king, the Christ. But how did we arrive at such a massive claim? Historically, this has proven to be no small debate. If Christ is the long-awaited Messiah, why does the Old Testament have so few unambiguous texts we can point to as proof?
- Jesus was born in Bethlehem. Biblical prophecy: “But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, though you are little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of you shall come forth to Me the One to be Ruler in Israel, whose goings forth are from of old, from everlasting.”
- Jesus was born of a virgin. Biblical prophecy: Isaiah 7:14 (NKJV) says, “Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and shall call His name Immanuel.”
- Jesus was rejected by His people. In biblical times, building foundations were built from stone, starting with a single stone placed in the corner as a guide for the entire structure.
- Jesus suffered with (and for) sinners. Biblical prophecy: “Therefore I will divide him a portion with the many, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong, because he poured out his soul to death and was numbered with the transgressors; yet he bore the sin of many, and makes intercession for the transgressors.”
Peter Declares That Jesus Is the Messiah. 13 When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say the Son of Man is?” 14 They replied, “Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” 15 “But what about you?” he asked. “Who do you say I am?”
Most Christians believe Jesus to be the incarnation of God the Son and the awaited messiah, or Christ, a descendant from the Davidic line that is prophesied in the Old Testament. Virtually all modern scholars of antiquity agree that Jesus existed historically .
