The Messiah
As Christians we refer to Jesus as “the Christ.” This comes from the Greek Christus meaning “the anointed one.”Christus is the Greek translation of the Hebrew word also meaning “the anointed one.” The Hebrew word is Meshiach, or Messiah as we have anglicized it. It is proper, therefore, that Lehi would refer to the prophet mentioned in 1 Nephi 10:4–5 as the Messiah, the Savior, and the Redeemer.
