Lord Jesus Christ our Savior

To Titus, a true son in our common faith: Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our Savior.

Titus 1:4

In the 385 titles of Christ that I have found in the Bible, most occur only once or twice to emphasize some specific attribute of the Master. Some titles are repeated many times and are the most familiar. New titles are even made by linking shorter ones together in order to magnify the Lord’s greatness. Listed below are the top ten titles Christ. - Please note that not included is Jesus’ Old Testament name (written YAH/ Yahweh/ Jehovah/ the LORD) which occurs over 6000 times.

Top Ten Titles in the New Testament:

          1. Jesus – 983 times

          2. Lord – 652 times
          3. Christ – 529 times
          4. Son of Man – 87 times
          5. Son of God – 73 times
          6. Teacher – 49 times
          7. King – 38 times
          8. Master – 36 times

When Titus was sent as a missionary to Crete, Paul wrote to him a letter of encouragement giving him practical advice. Although Titus observed and followed Paul for many years as his disciple, he was also born and raised a pagan before converting to Christ. Paul repeated the basics of the gospel and the purpose of his mission to the Gentiles of that island nation. To do that the Apostle chose a name made up of four of the top ten titles of the Son of God. Titus was there to serve the Lord Jesus Christ our Savior.
