According to Religion Facts " The Messiah is a Jewish hero-figure predicted by the Hebrew prophets to save the Jews and bring justice to the world."


Christians believe that Jesus is the one foretold in the prophecies. Jews do not.

Why do the Old and New Testaments never refer to Jesus as the Messiah?

The word Messiah comes from the Hebrew word for 'anointed'. The word Christ is the Greek equivalent, again meaning 'anointed'. The Old Testament never mentions Jesus at all, so it therefore never calls him the Messiah. The New Testament was written entirely in Greek and does call Jesus the Christ, the Greek equivalent to the Messiah.
