The word "Christ" comes from Greek, and means "Kristos": Anointed by the Lord. The Messiah. In that sense, written with a capital letter. When Christians talk about Christ, they talk about Jesus: It is said of Him that He is the Messiah, the word meaning, "anointed by the Lord". He is the One from whom we expect salvation or deliverance.
However, the "Christ" function does not fit one man only, but applies to any person who seeks to promote the qualities of Love that God placed in us. Every human being, man or woman can develop his/her own Christic qualities. It is enough to believe in our possibilities, to make them grow to attune them to the divine Will.
What did He do, He of Whom it is said, "He is Christ", to deserve that title? From His earliest years, He went about His Father's business. While doing so, He studied the history of the great religions of His time; He travelled; He met "Masters", studied and had discussions with them. All in all, He had an idea of the beliefs of His time and He developed His own theory about Consciousness, the Father and the role of Man on Earth.
Someone asked me how He could go about His Father business if He was to develop, later on, His own theory about Consciousness, the Father and the role of Man on the Earth?
The answer is quite simple. Man is on Earth to acknowledge what his soul already knows and to act upon that knowledge. To do that, we study. So, while being in a man's body, He vanquished the physical and material instincts, and learned to master his thirst for knowledge by learning all he could. He gave his whole life to this Father by Whom he said he had been given everything. During his apprenticeship he learned about the purpose of his destiny and accepted it. Thus, He accepted the deepest desire of his soul that asked him to teach what the Father expected of His children. More over, not only did He teach His knowledge and give His love, He became, by the power of the Father, the representative of Love and of the gift of Self.
Along the years of study and throughout his public life, he assumed his task of being the ultimate teacher. He became what He preached: He developed His Christic qualities. In accepting the part God proposed He personified divine Will and assumed full responsibility for it. He became Christ, the anointed One, and the consecrated of the Lord.
Life is one and goes on. If I see dust, I become dust. If I see God, I become God. That is what Jesus accomplished. He saw God in everything. He believed and knew that His Father was nearer to Him than His own flesh.
Jesus was a man who accepted the role He was to play and played it to the best of His knowledge, until He became the "Christ".
We too can become Christ when the time comes because that quality does not belong to Jesus alone, but to all who desire to know, understand, live and become (or go back to being) children of Light, of Consciousness.
