'In-Christ" Minded - Part 1
2 Timothy 1:1, “Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, according to the promise of life which is in Christ Jesus.”
2 Timothy 1:9-10, “Who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was given to us in Christ Jesus before time began, but has now been revealed by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ.”
In the above verses of scripture we find the Lord being referred to as both Jesus Christ and Christ Jesus. But what is the difference between these two different forms of address? Firstly, in the gospels there is never any reference to the Lord as Christ Jesus, you will only find Him being addressed as Jesus Christ. Also, when Christ Jesus does appear in the Epistles, it is almost entirely preceded by the word “in” (“in Christ Jesus”). I thought and prayed about this and believe the answer can be found in our foundational scriptures (2 Timothy 1:1 and 2 Timothy 1:9-10).
