Christ

    From BelieveTheSign
    Christ (Greek: anointed) refers to the fulfillment of the promised Messiah. The word "Christ" is mentioned on its own 264 times in the New Testament, and as part of the compound name of Jesus 258 times. The compound name "Lord Jesus Christ" appears 81 times in the New Testament, beginning in the book of Acts. Christ and Messiah both mean "anointed".

    The Lord Jesus Christ is the fullness of the Godhead in the form of Adam's race. He is the seed of the woman, being born of a virgin, and is the only one worthy to atone for our sins. The entire New Testament was written by Jewish Christians who had no imagination of a trinity of Gods, persons, or co-existence of persons. When these men opened their letters with the greeting "Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ", they were identifying themselves as Jews (from God our Father) who had accepted the sacrifice of the sinless, spotless lamb of God, the anointed Messiah.

    These same Jews were later shocked to learn that "God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham" when Gentiles also received the gift of the Holy Spirit, which is the Spirit of Christ.


    Commentary by William Branham

    Christ is the Word

    What is Christ? Christ is the Word. How many knows that? "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."

    The transforming Spirit

    If Beethoven lived in me, I would be Beethoven. See?
    If Shakespeare lived in me, I'd be Shakespeare. I--I'd write poems, and--and--and plays, and so forth, if Shakespeare lived in me.
    And if Christ lives in me, the works of Christ you'll do.

    The sign of Christ

    She said, "Sir, I perceive that You are a prophet. We know when the Messiah cometh, He will tell us these things." See, that was the work of Messiah. What is Messiah? Well, it's the--the Logos, the Spirit of God. Messiah is the Spirit of God, the Christ, the Anointed. She said, "When that Spirit comes from glory, when It's here on earth manifested, It'll tell us these things. That's the nature of it. That's the nature of God." She said, "Now, You must be a prophet, and we know Messiah cometh will tell us these things, but Who are You?"
    He was the only One that ever could, the only One that ever will be able to say it, "I'm He that speaks to you." What was that? That was God speaking through His Son.
    She left that water pot and run into the city and said, "Come, see a Man, Who's told me the things I've ever done: isn't this the Messiah?"

    Christ in his Church

    Now, what is it? Christ coming to His Body. Christ is the Word. We all know the anointing is Christ, that comes on the Word, that makes the Word live. Is that right? That is the anointing. Christ is the anointing, the Spirit that comes upon the Word, that quickens the Word, to make it live. Now, the Word is in your heart. You believe in Divine healing, whatevermore. See? And Christ, the anointing, coming to His Body. See the--the connection there? Just like husband and wife to become one. Now, the church has got to get to the ministry, until the church and Christ become one. He can anoint you for every blessing that's in the Bible. All of it is yours. Everything is promised at this age is yours.
