Bible Question: Is the word "Messiah" a reference to Deity? What does the word "Messiah" mean? |
Bible Answer: Yes, Nolan, Messiah is more than a reference to Deity. The Messiah, Jesus Christ, is Deity, being the second person of the Trinity. Messiah (the Greek is Christ) in Hebrew means the Anointed One. It means the expected king and deliverer of the Hebrews. The first promise of the Messiah, although not using that name, is that to Eve in Genesis 3:15. The same promise was, in varying phraseology, repeated to many individuals throughout the ages, notably to Abraham and David..... What a superb and joyful moment it must have been for Andrew when he told his brother Simon Peter, "We have found the Messiah." Since that day untold numbers of people have been filled with joy when they too found Christ. --Hank |
