Christians believe that Jesus of Nazareth was called Christ during his mission on earth, before 30 CE.
First Thessalonians is the earliest book of The Bible that mentions Christ. It is believed to have been written in the early 50s of the first century CE, or perhaps a little earlier.
Burton L. Mack (Who Wrote the New Testament) says that the early Christians sought to redefine the Jewish scriptures and argue for reading them as a prediction of Jesus instead of belonging to the stories of Israel. They have tried to say that Christ was mentioned in Old Testament prophecy centuries earlier.
