What does the word Christ actually mean in the Bible? Jesus defines His own title — and your eternal destiny hinges on understanding it. Most people say “we need to put Christ back into Christmas” — but few stop to ask what the title Christ really means according to Jesus Himself.

In this video, we look at how Jesus defines His own title and why understanding what it means to believe that Jesus is the Christ matters for your eternal destiny. Many people treat “Christ” like Jesus’ last name, but the Bible presents it as a specific title with eternal significance. According to 1 John 5:1, whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God. But what does that belief actually involve? To answer that question, we turn to John 11, where Jesus declares, “I am the resurrection and the life.” In His conversation with Martha, Jesus explains what it means to believe in Him — and Martha’s response shows us exactly what it means to believe that Jesus is the Christ.

Christmas isn’t just about a baby in a manger. It’s about the arrival of the Resurrection and the Life — the One who guarantees eternal life to all who believe in Him for it. If you’ve ever wondered: What does “Christ” mean in the Bible? Why does believing Jesus is the Christ matter? What does Christmas have to do with eternal life? This video is for you.

Thanks for watching and Merry Christmas!
