1Jesus Christ.] These titles given to the Messiah are not in vain used, or joined together: for, by these names both his Office and his Work are described. In the one name (CHRIST) showing what he undertook to be, in the other showing what he was, viz. JESUS, a Saviour: the one Name, (viz.) JESUS, an Hebrew word, is for the Jews, and the other Name CHRIST, a Greek word, is for the Gentiles: the one showing that he was GOD (for,2 besides me there is no Saviour) the other showing that he was Man, (viz.) Christ the anointed. For, in respect of his humane nature chiefly is this anointing with graces or gifts attributed to Christ.
