Jesus is The Christ

What does it mean to say “Jesus is the Christ”? In this message from 1 John 2:22–23, we explore why that title is not just a name, but the very heart of Christian faith. John warns that the one who denies Jesus as the Christ is a liar and the antichrist—not merely mistaken but cut off from the Father.

This sermon traces the Old Testament foundation of the title “Messiah” (Christ) through passages like Psalm 2, Deuteronomy 18, and Isaiah 9. We see that the Christ is the promised King, the Son of God, the prophet like Moses, and the one who possesses all the earth—none other than God Himself. Denying Jesus as the Christ is not a minor error; it is to miss salvation entirely.

Whether you’re uncertain about who Jesus is or have long followed Him, this passage calls us to recognize, proclaim, and exalt Him as the one true Christ.
