What does 'Jesus Christ of Faith' refer to?

• A. A myth
• B. The risen Lord proclaimed by believers after the Resurrection
• C. The historical figure of Jesus
• D. A teacher of wisdom

Answer: (B)

The phrase Jesus Christ of Faith points to the risen Lord proclaimed by believers after the Resurrection. In Christian belief, Jesus is not just the historical Jesus; he is acknowledged as the Christ—the Anointed One—whose Resurrection reveals his divine identity and saving role. The addition “of Faith” signals that this understanding comes from the faith of the Christian community—the apostolic preaching, the witness of early believers, and the baptismal confession—rather than from historical description alone. It captures the kerygma that Jesus is Lord and Savior whom God raised, which is central to Christian faith.
