*MESSIAH (Hebrew) - also see *1
We can help shape a messianic figure by realizing that each of us is one limb of the organism of humanity. The messianic age is a time when "each person regards every single human being as a close friend." Perhaps through our work of tikkum, through ethical and spiritual activity, we are fashioning Messiah, bit by bit. (PS 1/4/96)
CHRIST (Greek) God's annoited one as a suffering servant
God's chosen one as a warrior-king
