Jesus Christ
Nazarene religious founder
Jesus Christ is the central figure of Christianity, believed by Christians to be the Son of God and savior of humanity.
The name combines Jesus (from Hebrew meaning "God saves") with Christ (from Greek for "anointed one").
As an exclamation, *Jesus Christ* expresses shock, frustration, or emphasis: Jesus Christ, that was close!
The minced oath *geez* derives from this. (See also Jesus.)
