Christ, our Savior
Jesus Christ is our Lord, our Savior, our Redeemer. I love it when my seminary teacher talks about the many glorious names of Christ. Here are some of my favorite:
Friend
Savior
Redeemer
First born
Beloved
son of God
Chosen
Comforter
Corner stone
Christ Child
Eternal
Everlasting
King
Messiah
Lamb of God
Master
Prince of Peace
Prophet
The good Shepherd
My favorite, personally, is "First Born". My daddy passed away when I was 13 years old. He had a special nick-name for all us kids. Mine was "First Born In The Wilderness" Just like Nephi! When he would right me notes he would address it to "My little first born in the wilderness" I loved it when he would call me that. I love that Christ has that name because I feel like it connects me to my dad and Christ in a way.
My point for writing these names is to have you think about which name provides you with the most comfort. Some people may feel alone or lost so the names "friend" and "The good shepherd" may provide them with the most comfort. Others may like "Savior" or "Redeemer"
Choose which name means the most to you and when things get hard or you feel alone and unloved, just think: The Lord loves me. He is my eternal friend and my comfort. He is the light and Life of the world and he will not leave me stranded.
Christ is always there for you, my friends. I hope you feel his love wrap around you! I have a testimony of the savior. I know that if I follow him, I can return home to my Heavenly Father. <3
Love ya guys :)
