Morphology
Both constituents directly denote the same religious figure or title, so a learner who knows 'Jesus' and 'Christ' will recognize 'Jesus Christ' as the proper name/title for that central figure in Christianity. The combination is not idiomatic or metaphorical but simply the full name/title, a compositional and cross-linguistically common pattern, making it immediately comprehensible to B1 learners who know the parts.
Etymology
Jesus Christ comes from two parts: Jesus, a name that means 'the Lord saves', and Christ, a title that means 'the chosen one' or 'special leader'. That's why the name is used for the person Christians believe saves people and is an important leader in their faith.
