Who is this Jesus the Christ...???

Yesterday at the beach I was speaking with a Rastafarian who spoke about the Christ but failed to identify who the Christ is.

Who is Jesus the Christ?

Some folks actually thought Christ was Jesus last name but no. It's His title. Christ comes from the Latin Christus which means anointed. When translated in Hebrew means Messiah (māšīaḥ). Others thought Jesus was another prophet and some intellects think he was a lunatic.

I believe that sometimes we are too rational / intellectual for our own good. The intellectuals of Jesus day asked this question "Who can forgive sins but God alone?"...Well that would mean only one thing right? Duh!

I submit to you the simplest and the most truthful answer Jesus the Christ is the exact representation of God in earthy form. Just read Hebrews 1:3. In simple terms He is God in flesh.
