Jesus Christ
JESUS:
'The Savior who saved all people from their sins and the punishment
for those sins.' Jesus refers to the Savior, the One who has
saved all people from their sins.
CHRIST: 'The Anointed.' There
were three kinds of persons in vocational posts who had to be anointed
before God: (1) kings, (2) prophets and (3) priests. Jesus fulfilled
all of them.
Jesus Christ was all of these. He did
the work of all of these. We have to believe in Jesus as the King,
the Prophet, and the Priest who brought us redemption and salvation.
Thus, we come to call Him 'Jesus Christ.' He was the heavenly
High Priest who saved us from all the sins of the world with His
baptism and blood.
Therefore, He is the King of all who
believe in Him. He makes us realize our sins when we come before
Him. He taught us that we are sinners from the time of our ancestors;
that as the descendants of sinners, we were born sinners, and as
a result, we are under the judgment of God.
He also taught us that we are washed
of our sins through His baptism and blood. He did all these works
for us sinners.
