Christos

 Love Song - Third Day

Christ is the English term for the Greek Χριστός (Christos) meaning "anointed", which as a translation of the Hebrew משח (mashach) meaning "to smear," "anoint," "spread a liquid," carries much of its original Jewish meaning of משיח mashiyach (nm. Messiah, anointed by the Lord; Christ) or appointed by God with a unique and special purpose (mission) on Earth.

Did Christ decant his soul until death for us, and will we think any thing too high-priced for him? Do we give him the prized chrism of our best affections? Let us love him with all the heart, though it is common for devotion and tenderness to be misunderstood and blamed; and remember that kindness and compassion to the poor will not exonerate any from remarkable acts of holiness to the Lord Jesus. Christ commended this woman's honorable attention to the notice of believers in all ages. Those who exalt Christ he will exalt. Parsimony was Judas' master lust, and that layed him bare to the sin of betraying his Master; the devil conformed his temptation to that, and so... vanquished him.
