Was #LordJesusChrist a "Sacrifice" or a #Messiah? (if you had to choose only one) @FreeMessBible

The popular 'theme' is that Jesus was the sacrifice (that was given to pay for the sins of humanity). But a few Bible-verses pop up in my mind that argue He was more 'Messiah.'

What's the difference? Let's look at the foundations beneath 'that word' (hyperlinked to The Messianic Prophecy Bible Project's offer of a FREE Bible) ... something crucial that firms the foundation upon which the our lexicon stands ...

The word “Messiah” is built on “to Anoint” (|Hebrew equivalent of "Christ" (מָשִׁיחַ), which their |Captive |Nation used to refer to their |Expected |Deliverer or |Liberator (Our Father God 'anointing' Him to lead them, the same way Prophet |Samuel anointed King |David)).

hmm ... my shoddy memory remembered 'messiah' as a word connected to "messenger" (maybe because that's the foundation of "angel").

But it's still more than Sacrifice—if He were just 'a Sacrifice,' we could just "hold up a receipt" everytime we needed to forget our guilt; but as He is 'Messiah,' we have to "go to Him for decisions in when our lives come to confused crossroads' (as Israelites had to come to King David to solve their disagreements).

Or maybe I'm looking at it wrong—that's one reason
 Our Father God said "It is not good for the man to be
 alone":  "Because the man'll think he's right until someone else shows

 him why he's not"—Won't you show me
