It's a transliteration of the Greek word christos, which described the anointed Jewish king who was to come. When we speak of Jesus Christ (or Jesus the Christ or Christ Jesus), it's a helpful reminder that he is more than our Savior who saves us from our sins: he's our king who deserves our allegiance.

Christ Is the King. It is "who" Jesus is. Savior is what Jesus does for us.
