What Does It Mean to Call Jesus "the Christ"? (Part 2)

Our confession during the Christmas season is that the baby born in Bethlehem over 2000 years ago is "the Christ." But what does that mean, and how does it turn our world upside down? The gospel of Matthew helps us to see that to call Jesus "the Christ" means to confess that Jesus is God in flesh, that He humbled Himself in the incarnation, and that to follow Him means that we have to humble ourselves and take on the mind of Christ.
