Luke 2:11

2:11 Jesus is called “Savior” only twice in the four Gospels (cf. John 4:42). “Christ” means “Messiah,” while “Lord” is regularly used in the Septuagint (the Greek translation of the Old Testament) for God’s own name, conventionally translated with small capitals (“Lord”). The most outstanding terms are used for the new Baby.
