Names and titles of Jesus Christ in the Bible

Introduction:  A title is a designation which describes or refers to some particular function or status of a person and hence may indicate the honor which is to be ascribed to him.  Names and titles are closely related.  Sometimes what began as a name would become a title, and vice versa.  These rather general considerations are relevant to a consideration of the titles given to Jesus in the Bible.
