In this reading plan, we are learning more about God by studying the names given to Him in Scripture. Each day, you\u2019ll come here to read the description of the name we\u2019re studying today and a brief explanation of how God\u2019s character is seen through His name. (Remember that because the Bible was originally written in Hebrew and Greek, some of God\u2019s names are written in the English form of His name from their original language.) You can then head to today\u2019s passages to see how this name functions in Scripture. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
MESSIAH<\/strong>: God\u2019s chosen and anointed one<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Hebrew word mashiach<\/em>, or \u201cmessiah,\u201d was used to refer to the promised savior of God\u2019s people. The word mashiach was translated into the Greek as christos<\/em>, which is brought into English as Christ. Messiah and Christ are two titles that describe Jesus as the anointed, or chosen, one of Israel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The word mashiach was used to describe someone who was anointed for a particular calling. In Scripture, people called to serve as prophets, priests, and kings were anointed with oil to ceremonially set them apart for their particular work. Jesus perfectly fulfilled all three of these roles for His people through His life, death, and resurrection. He is the chosen and anointed one who perfectly fulfilled His calling as the savior of God\u2019s people.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In this reading plan, we are learning more about God by studying the names given to Him in Scripture.
