The Names of God - Christ

Christ
Matthew 22:42 “What do you think about the Christ? Whose son is he?” “The son of David," they replied.

The word Christ means “Anointed.” This was Jesus official designation and occurs in the 4 Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke and John) about 57 times, and is usually used with the phrase “The Christ.” Like the priests, kings, and prophets in the Old Testament were anointed to their respective offices and were thus considered as God’s anointed ones, we can readily understand why Christ was The Anointed One. Having been consecrated by His Baptism and the descent of the Holy Spirit as our Prophet, Priest, and King.

Lord, I am so blessed to have you as my Anointed Prophet, Priest, and King. From this anointing, I can have your teaching, share of your sacrifice and intercession, and enjoy your gifts and riches. Praise be to your Holy Name.
