It is crucial to understand that the Christ who came 2000 years ago was Christ even before He came. A Christ is a chief person who is so much what God wants in a person that God is not ashamed to call Him His Son. God fully approves of the Christ in every way. This is crucial to the chief task given the Christ which was to die on a cross as atonement to purify the disciples from their sins, and then to rise and lead them into eternal life.
