This episode of "Catechism in a Year" focuses on the meaning and significance of the title "Christ" in relation to Jesus. Fr. Mike Schmitz explains that "Christ" (Greek) or "Messiah" (Hebrew) means "anointed one," a title signifying the fulfillment of the roles of king, priest, and prophet. He discusses how Jesus, unlike previous anointed figures in the Old Testament, perfectly embodies these roles, ultimately revealing the true meaning of his kingship through his suffering and crucifixion. The episode uses scripture references to illustrate Jesus' messianic identity and highlights the Trinity's involvement in Jesus' anointing. Listeners gain a deeper understanding of the title "Christ" and its theological implications.
