Because God made him so:
Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made the same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ. (Acts 2.36)
If you tackle it with a historical perspective, the title "Christ" got added to Jesus' name from the Greek Χριστός (Christós), meaning "Saviour." "Christ" is simply a Europeanized dilution of the original Greek, in which some of the New Testament was written. It was an identifier, since, like in all cultures, "Jesus" wasn't a totally unique name. It was simply explaining "Jesus the Saviour" to add perspective, so that people would know they weren't talking about "Jesus the farmer" or "Jesus mason." It's somewhat like calling someone "Handyman Bob" because you've also got a business associate named Bob.
