The emphasis on 'believing in Christ' becomes more meaningful once it is appreciated that the title 'Christ' can be read as synonymous with the Kingdom of Christ in some passages. Thus our Lord told the Pharisees that they need not go round looking for Messiah to come, because he was already standing in their midst.
Mkazo wa "kumwamini Kristo" unakuwa na maana zaidi mara ukifahamika ya kwamba cheo ‘Kristo’ kinaweza kusomwa kwa maana ile ile katika lugha moja ya maneno mengine ya Ufalme wa Kristo. Hivyo Bwana wetu aliwambia Mafarisayo ya kwamba hawakuwa na haja ya kwenda kuzunguka wakitarajia kuja kwa Masihi, kwa kuwa alikuwa tayari amesimama miongoni mwao.
