Q4. The Angels' Titles for Jesus


Recommended Posts

Q4. (Luke 2:11) What are the three titles of Jesus given by the angels? What does each mean? What does this tell us about Jesus' true identity?

The angel says, “For to you is born this day in the town of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. So the three titles of Jesus given by the angel are Savior, Christ and Lord.

Savior means one who rescues, delivers etc. In the Old Testament Yahweh Himself is called the Savior.

Christ is anglicized form of Greek Christos. The Hebrew word is Meshiah and its English transliteration is Messiah. It means the anointed One.

The Greek form of Lord is Kurios which means owner, Lord, Master etc and this was used for Yahweh in the Greek Septuagint version.

These titles emphasizes that Jesus is God Himself for they speak of His deity.
