Jesus Christ is the second person of the Blessed Trinity. He is true God and true man. In him there are two natures, DIVINE and HUMAN, but only one is eternal and was never created. His human nature is mortal and was conceived in the womb of the Virgin Mary by the power of the Holy Spirit. As scripture says: "the Word was made flesh, he lived among us" (John 1:14).
The name Jesus means "God Saves" (Matthew 1:21), because his mission is to save us from sins and to bring us to Paradise. In order to be saved, we must believe in the name of Jesus. As Scripture says: "Of all the names in the world given to men, this is the only one by which we can be saved" (Acts 4:12).
The title Christ in Greek, or Messiah in Hebrew, means anointed. Jesus is the Christ because he is true prophet, king, and priest. God the Father revealed Jesus as the Messiah at the Baptism in the Jordan, when he said: "You are my Son, the Beloved, my favour rest on you" (Mark 1:11)
