“The messiah of Christianity is called Christ, a word rightfully distinguished from "messiah" in English. Although Christ is a messiah, he is not what was expected or traditionally described by most ancient Jewish writers. Even for Marcion, the Jewish messiah had a different name: Emmanuel, or "God with us." The "us" here signifies Israel. This very name indicates the local and ethnic character of the Judean lord and his anointed.”
