While there were many “christs” or “anointed ones”, by the first century the Jews had come to understand there was only one “Christ” in the sense of their long awaited Messiah (Luke 7:19). “Summoning two of his disciples, John sent them to the Lord, saying, “Are You the Expected One, or do we look for someone else?”” (Luke 7:19, NASB95) When the wise men arrive from the East and ask Herod, “Where is He who has been born King of the Jews?”, Herod gathered all the chief priests and scribes and asked them, where “the Christ was to be born” (Matthew 2:4). They were able to give Herod an answer because one of the Messianic prophecies (Micah 5:2) identified Bethlehem as the place from which the coming Messiah would go forth. The “Anointed One”, the “Messiah” of whom the Old Testament prophets spoke was none other than Jesus of Nazareth. He alone is Prophet, Priest and King!
