Best Answer

'Christ' comes from the Greek word for 'anointed', and the Hebrew word is 'messiah' (approximately). The ancient Jews anointedtheir kings and high priests, and the first-century Jews hoped for a new messiah to liberate their nation. The early Christians saw Jesus as this longed-for messiah. So, 'Christ' is a title, not a name - in English, Jesus Christ means 'Jesus the anointed one'.

Jesus is the human side, Christ is the God side.

Answer'Jesus' was his name - Jesus means 'rescuer'. He was Jesus of Nazareth or Jesus bar Joseph.

'Christ' was his title bestowed on him by his followers - Christ means 'messiah', 'deliverer', 'saviour'

So, like we say President Bush, Queen Elizabeth, Captain Kirk, so we say Christ Jesus or Jesus Christ .

Christ is not His last name. Jesus was His earthly name, Christ is His heavenly name.
They are the same person. "Christ" was Jesus' title, which means 'anointed one.'

When "Jesus Christ" is written in The Bible, the writer is emphasizing the humanity of Jesus; when it says "Christ Jesus", it is emphasizing the deity of Christ.

Answer2: Christ is from the Greek Khris-stos, the equivalent of the Hebrew Ma-shi'ach (Messiah), and means Anointed One. Whereas the expression "anointed one" was properly applied to others before Jesus such as Moses, Aaron and David (Hebrews 11:24-26; Leviticus 4:3, 8:12; 2 Samuel 22:51), the position, office or service to which these were anointed only prefigured the superior position, office and service of Jesus Christ. Jesus is therefore preeminently and uniquely "the Christ", the Son of the living God. (Matthew 6:16) (see Jehovah's Witnesses official website Insight on the Scriptures Vol 2 pg 52)

There is no difference. Jesus is Jesus Christ. No, Christ is not His last name. Jesus was His earthly name, Christ is His heavenly name. That's why that you usually hear Jesus refered to as one of three things as far as names go: Jesus, Jesus Christ, and Christ Jesus.

Jesus is his name which means Jehovah is Salvation and Christ is his position/office. Christ means anointed one. The Hebrew word is Messiah which means anointed one.
