Pastor Arp We hear the word Christ and often think of it as simply part of Jesus name. But the word is a title not a name. It carries the meaning: “the anointed one” and anointing, pouring oil over the head, was the mark that established the identity of the one chosen to be king. Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God who has come to rule and reign and restore all creation. The promise of God to send a Savior spoken in the Garden to Adam and Eve and repeated again and again throughout the Old Testament was fulfilled. John the Baptizer announced his arrival. Ready or Not - Jesus Comes as Our King.
