The original meaning of the word Christ is the "anointed one" = Messiah.

Christ means savior. If we call Jesus Christ, it is because he saved the world from sin and death by his life, death and resurrection. Incidentally, if you were to leave out the capital letter in any word found in the New Testament [and in Luke], from that point on the word is written as a verb. And so we find that it is written of both Jews and Christians that they are sanctified by God's spirit (or anointing). Don't let me mislead you with all these facts - I'm just trying to get some clarity for myself!

The word Christ is a transliteration or more accurate spelling of the Hebrew term Messiah. It can also be translated as "Anointed One" or "Savior" Just in case you were wondering, it is not spelled with a "K".

Christ is just one translation of the Messiah that was popularized by the New Testament (the books of Matthew and Luke) and is most often associated with Jesus Christ - our savior for all who believe in him as our personal savior.

The word Christ comes from the Greek χριστός meaning "anointed one."
The term Christ actually refers to a biblical figure, not a name Jesus. Therefore, people did not shorten it to simply "Jesus" even though they may have believed that he was that person. Instead, when referring to him in this way, Christians would say "Christ Jesus
