(1) Discussion Prompt: Titles to Describe Jesus
Reflecting on Grudem’s discussion of titles and words used to describe Jesus (“God,” “Lord,” etc.), as well as what Elwell may contribute, address this question: Why was “Messiah”/”Christ” not one of the major titles Jesus used for Himself? In your initial post you must include at least one quote each from Grudem, Elwell, and Scripture. Other sources are welcome but not required.
