It is a title: Jesus, the Christ.
Christ is taken to mean Jesus. The word also means Messiah, anointed one.
The story of Jesus tells of a unique man who lived life as a man and came to grow in realization that he was consciously connected with the Most High, whom he reverently called His Father and Our Father.
It was Jesus the Christ who gave us the Lord’s Prayer beginning with the words ‘Our Father who art in heaven.’
To me the title Christ means the attainment of a unified enlightened level of consciousness. To be one with the Christ is to personify that consciousness, act and speak for it.
There are many who have grown in spirit and come to have a relationship with that consciousness. This consciousness is what unifies and purifies humanity as it ascends from individuality to the collective until we all become One and Whole.
This is the state of holiness.

Lord Jesus
Recently I observed Christians infighting over whether Jesus is the Lord.
These are his words:
21“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.22Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’23Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’
The word Lord can mean a person who has authority over others, or it can mean God, as in the Lord.
To Jesus, this was not important. It was never about Him.
And though Jesus believed in forgiveness, he clearly states that obedience to the Will of the Father is required to enter the His Kingdom in Heaven.
This requirement then is not just devotion to Jesus, but a true oneness with the Spirit. You may name drop Jesus, but when you knock on his door, he will not know you.
Charity work, good character, compassion alone will not buy your ticket to heaven, but these are the effects of spiritual growth. These are the fruits of ascended consciousness.
The way to tell the difference is when you do these things because you care. You care about others ‘ suffering and want to help. You have compassion for those who have made mistakes, even though it’s their own fault. You do the right thing because you know it’s honest and fair, not because people are watching. You want to be the hand of God, not for any credit in this world or the next, but because you want others to see The Way to a better life.
Then Jesus will know you as a brother or a sister and you will live in the same house as your Father. And like Him, it will never be about You.
