159. Christship of Jesus

There is a progressiveness of Revelation regarding Jesus as The Christ.

1. Personally, as the Anointed of God, He does work for us which we could not do for ourselves—Joh_20:31.

2. Positionally, as the Anointer with the Holy Spirit, He is made Lord and Christ—Act_2:36.

3. Mystically. “Christ” as the Head and Members make up the mystical body of Christ—1Co_12:12.

4. Representatively. Christ is the One “in” whom believers are found—2Co_12:2.

5. Provisionally. Christ is the Reservoir where all blessing is treasured—Eph_1:3.

6. Potentially. Christ is the Indweller to reproduce His life in ours—Gal_2:20.

7. Prospectively. The Church will be “with Christ” whether at death—Php_1:23, or His return—Col_3:4.
