Three Names One Person Jesus, Jesus Christ, and Christ Jesus

Three names for Jesus, Jesus is the human name given to the Son of God when He became incarnate and was born to Mary. Christ is a title, and it means “Messiah,” “Anointed One,” or “Chosen One.” In some passages, a New Testament writer will use the term Jesus Christ, placing the human name first (Jude 1:1); other times, a writer will use the term Christ Jesus, putting the title first ( 2 Timothy 1:1). This has led some people to wonder if there is a difference between the two appellations: what is the significance of saying “Jesus Christ” versus “Christ Jesus”?

1 John 1:9 (MEV) If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

It is true that, in many languages, word order can be changed for emphasis. In English, words placed at the beginning or at the end of a sentence usually receive more attention than the words in between. For example, saying “We can only then be sure” slightly emphasizes the word sure; however, saying “Only then can we be sure” places a heavy stress on the condition of the surety: “only then.” Statements in Greek and Hebrew are also subject to shifts in emphasis based on word order, but the difference between “Jesus Christ” and “Christ Jesus” is slight. To use the title Christ on either side of the personal name Jesus is to attribute the same honor to Him. Three names one person I hope this helped…

We sometimes use it different ways to get the point across. We usually put the title first however after reading and studying I normally write Jesus Christ for that is the main way I see it in the Bible. Doing it that way actually (at least in my mind) is out of practice of writing it. Christ Jesus actually should be the proper way of saying it. Shepherd Jym Wells or Jym Wells Shepherd, in this case the first one seems to be more right, if that makes sense…
