Terribly nice mass, one inspired by Jesus? (9)

I believe the answer is:

messianic

'inspired by jesus?' is the definition.
(Jesus is the Messiah)

'terribly nice mass one' is the wordplay.
'terribly' is an anagram indicator.
'one' becomes 'i' (roman numeral).
'nice'+'mass'+'i'='nicemassi'
'nicemassi' is an anagram of 'MESSIANIC'.

(Another definition for messianic that I've seen is " of expected champion".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
