Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy, to the assembly of the Thessalonians in God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ:
and the Lord Jesus Christ: "Jesus" is the name bestowed by the archangel before Christ is born; it is the historical name by which the citizens of Nazareth and Jerusalem recognize Him. "Christ" is the Greek form of "anointed," meaning Messiah. Jesus is not only referred to as "Lord" but also as the Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9:6).
