Messiah
The Greek translation of Messiah is khristos (χριστος), anglicized as Christ, and Christians commonly refer to Jesus as either the “Christ” or the “Messiah.” Christians believe the Messianic prophecies were fulfilled in the mission, death, and resurrection of Jesus, as Savior and Redeemer, and that Jesus will return to fulfill the remainder of Messianic prophecy as Lord and King. In the first books of the Bible, known as the “Old Testament,” over 300 such predictions about the “Messiah” or “Savior” can be found.
