There is a progressiveness of Revelation regarding Jesus as the Christ.
1] Personally, as the Anointed of God, He does work for us which we could not do for ourselves –
John 20:31
but these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in His name.
2] Positionally, as the Anointer with the Holy Spirit, He is made Lord and Christ. – Acts 2:36
“Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly that God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ.”
3] Mystically. “Christ” as the Head and Members make up the mystical body of Christ.
1 Corinthians 12:12
For as the body is one and has many members, but all the members of that one body, being many, are one body, so also is Christ.
4] Representatively. Christ is the One “in” whom believers are found –
2 Corinthians 12:2
I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago—whether in the body I do not know, or whether out of the body I do not know, God knows—such a one was caught up to the third heaven.
5] Provisionally. Christ is the Reservoir where all blessing is treasured.
Ephesians 1:3
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ,
6] Potentially. Christ is the In dweller to reproduce His life in ours.
Galatians 2:20
I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.
7] Prospectively. The Church will be “with Christ” whether at death.
Philippians 1:23
For I am hard-pressed between the two, having a desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better
Or His return
Colossians 3:4
When Christ who is our life appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory.
