CHRIST JESUS. The Greek word Christos is the translation of the Hebrew Mashiach `Messiah', both meaning
`anointed'. In the Old Testament a prophet, a priest and a king were anointed, and these three titles are included
under the all-covering term `Christ'. The employment of the names and titles `Jesus', `Jesus Christ' and `Christ
Jesus' is an index of the line of teaching which discriminates in their use. Jesus is the most usual name for the Lord
during His earthly life, and is only employed by the apostle Paul in exceptional circumstances. We are not,
however, attempting an analysis of the names and titles of our Lord generally, in this article, but wish to draw
attention to one title of dispensational importance namely `Christ Jesus'. The Revised Version, having access to
manuscripts that were unknown at the time of the Authorized Version, have made a number of changes, which are
significant. In the accompanying concordance, it will be seen that in the A.V. the title `Christ Jesus' is found in Acts
19:4, Hebrews 3:1 and 1 Peter 5:10 and 14, but in the R.V. these four references are excluded, Acts 19:4 and
Hebrews 3:1 reading `Jesus' and 1 Peter 5:10 and 14 reading `Christ'. Accepting the revised text we discover an
important dispensational feature. The title `Christ Jesus'.
