Messiah

The royal saviour of Israel that was prophesied in the Testament. The word means ‘Anointed One' in Hebrew (mashiach). The Greek translation of this word is christos, which is why Jesus is known as ‘Christ'. Christians believe that Jesus is the foretold Messiah; Jews, however, believe that the Messiah has not yet come.
