Who is Jesus? This is perhaps the most important question in human history. In the 2nd line of the creed, we’re introduced to the 2nd person of the Trinity–Jesus Christ, God’s only Son–King and Lord of all. In this brief credal phrase, we’re introduced to 4 key facets of the Messiah. We see him as Jesus, reflecting His humanity by taking on a human name along with human form. We learn to see Jesus as the Christ–a title meaning “anointed one” or “messiah”. He was the long awaited Savior the ancient prophets had spoken of for many generations in the Old Testament. We then see Him as Son, showing his relation to the Father and His divinity within the Trinity. And finally, we are introduced to Jesus as Lord. This term denotes ultimate authority. Through Jesus Christ, God’s Son and our Lord we can experience forgiveness of sins and real freedom now and forever. What a Savior we have in Jesus!
