The ABC's of Our Savior

For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder; and his name shall be called, Wonderful, Counselor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.  Isaiah 9:6 and 2 Nephi 19:6

Nativity at Preston Temple

Today in Sacrament Meeting, a young man bore his testimony of the Savior and used the alphabet to identify who He is to him personally.  As I listened to him share this list, it seemed a good way to stay focused on our Lord and Savior while renewing our baptismal covenants when we partake of the Sacrament and promise to take upon the name of Jesus Christ and be like Him.  The scripture above already gives you a start.

He is my Advocate, Beloved, Creator, Deliverer, Exemplar, Foundation, God, Hope . . . you get the idea.  Make up your own.  Your alphabet will evolve as you study the scriptures and find more words to describe our beloved King, the Prince of Peace. 

A dear friend told me how she was at a meeting where people were supposed to choose their favorite hero.  She said that Jesus Christ is her hero--the ultimate hero over all other super heroes.
