KNOWING THE JESUS, THE ONLY BEGOTTEN SON OF GOD What does the name “Jesus” mean? Jesus means in Hebrew “God saves.” In the Acts of the Apostles Peter says, “There is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved” (Acts 4:12). This is essentially the message that all missionaries brought to people.
Why Jesus is called “Christ”? The brief formula “Jesus is the Christ” express the core of the Christian faith: Jesus, the simple carpenter’s son from Nazareth, is the long-awaited Messiah and Savior. Both the Greek word “Christos” and the Hebrew word “Messiah” mean “the Anointed One”. In Israel kings, priests, and prophets were anointed. The Apostles learned that Jesus was anointed “with the Holy Spirit” (Acts 10:38). We are called Christians after Christ, as an expression of our exalted vocation.
What does it mean to say that Jesus is “the only-begotten Son of God”? When Jesus calls himself “God’s only-begotten Son” (or “only Son”, Jn 3:16) and Peter and others bear witness to this, the expression means that of all men only Jesus is more than a man. In many passages of the New Testatment (jn 1:14, 18; Jn 4:9; Heb 1:2 and so on) Jesus is called “Son”. At his baptism and his Transfiguration, the voice from heaven calls Jesus “my beloved Son”. Jesus discloses to his disciples his unique relationship to his heavenly Father: “All things have been delivered to me by my Father; and no one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and any one to whom the Son chooses to reveal him” (Mt 11:27). The fact that Jesus Christ really is God’s Son comes to light at the Resurrection.
