Jesus Christ, Titles Of Titles of Jesus Christ. Names applied to Jesus, associated with christological functions. Several titles are used in the New Testament that indicate how His role in salvation was perceived, often building on or modifying previous expectations associated with the title.
Christ (Χρίστος, Christos) is a translation of the Hebrew term “messiah” (מָשִיחַ, mashiach)—meaning “anointed one”—and is one of the most common titles of Jesus. When the Davidic succession was cut off by the Babylonian exile, the expectation of a future restoration of the dynasty led to prophecies of a coming “anointed one” (e.g., Isa 11:1–9). The expectation in the Old Testament always refers to a human figure expected to restore the earthly kingdom of Israel. Messianic expectations varied; sometimes hope was transferred to an anointed priest instead of a king. Numerous historical figures received the designation—Zerubbabel and Joshua in Zech 4:11–14 (Fuller, The Foundations, 24–28) and the foreign ruler Cyrus in Isa 45:1. At Qumran, two messiahs were anticipated—one Davidic and one Levitical.
