JESUS CHRIST: NAME ABOVE EVERY NAME

Jesus Christ is Lord

9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:

10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;

11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

The name of Jesus, who is the Christ, is above all other names because of who He was and is. He is our Advocate with the Father, who pleads our cause daily. Everyone should bow down to Him in humble adoration and gratitude for His infinite atoning sacrifice. Because of Him all will be resurrected and live forever. Jesus suffered, bled, died, and was resurrected for us. He is our Savior and redeemer. Jesus alone is the true Messiah for there is no other.

JESUS CHRIST: GOD WAS WITH HIM

Jesus Went About Doing Good

God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.

--Acts 10:38

Jesus was ordained and anointed by God the Father to be the Savior and Redeemer of the world, to have power over life, death and resurrection, to have power to forgive sins and power to give eternal to qualified persons. Jesus went about doing good. There was no fault nor deceit in Him. He was filled with love and compassion. He loved even the sinners but didn’t like the sins of the people. He forgave and prayed for all people, even those who persecuted Him, He prayed to the Father to forgive them and to help them. Jesus had power to heal afflicted ones and to cast out devils or evil spirits. Evil spirits obeyed His command and voice. God the Father was with Jesus. All Jesus did was to glorify the Father. He overcame the world.

JESUS: THE NAME ABOVE EVERY NAME

Jesus Christ is Lord to the Glory of God the Father

8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:

10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;

11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

--Philippians 2:8-11

Jesus was perfectly humble. His humility lead Him to perfect obedience, even unto death upon the cruel cross. He suffered pain, agony and affliction in Gethsemane and while hanging, nailed onto the death-born cross. He never complained nor murmured. God the Father exalted Jesus, and the name of Jesus is above every name; for there is no name greater. All should bow at the name of Jesus, all things in heaven and in earth. Everyone should believe in Jesus so deeply and love Him so much that everyone should admit and testify that Jesus Christ is Lord and glorify God the Father. The Spirit of the Holy Ghost bears witness of the truth of all things.
Love God, Jesus, and others above all other commandments, for this is The Greatest Commandment.

JESUS CHRIST: IN THE ARMS OF HIS LOVE

2 Nephi 1:15 (Book of Mormon)

But behold, the Lord hath redeemed my soul from hell; I have beheld his glory, and I am encircled about eternally in the arms of his love.

Jesus Christ is our Redeemer; He redeems us from hell, and bondage, physical and spiritual bondage. Without Him we would all be lost and doomed to the eternal pits. With Him, we have the blessing and opportunity of obtaining eternal, inheriting His and the Father’s brightness and glory eternally. He loves us with a perfect love. We can feel His arms encircling us at all times if we but always remember Him, that we keep Him utmost in our minds and seek His guidance and inspiration.

JESUS CHRIST: POWER OVER LIFE AND DEATH

Revelation 1:5-6

5 And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,

6 And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

Jesus Christ is the Prince of the Kings of the earth. Because of His great love for us, He sacrificed His own blood for our sins. He suffered for sins so that we might not suffer if we would repent and obey Him. If we don’t repent, then we must suffer ourselves. Blood means life. The children of Israel made blood sacrifices in similitude of the blood that Jesus would sacrifice, His own blood. Jesus made the choice. He chose to shed His blood for our wrongdoings, our misdeeds, our misbehaviors, our violation of God’s laws and statutes.

Jesus was the first fruits of the dead to be resurrected. He had power to resurrect himself and obtain a resurrected body of flesh, bone, spirit, but no blood. He Jesus opened the way for us to become Kings and Priests in the hereafter unto God the Father; therefore, we must be humble and glorify Him forever and forever.

Jesus Christ: Redemption Through

Romans 3:23-24

23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:

Jesus Christ brings about redemption through His grace. “By grace we are saved after all we can do” (See 2 Nephi 25:23). Grace is divine assistance, help from God and Jesus and the Holy Ghost. No one is perfect since we have all sinned, but the gift of eternal life is found in Jesus Christ our Lord. Salvation is obtained in His name and no other. He is the first and the last, even Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. He holds all creations in His hands and sees everything and everybody all in the present, eternity past and eternity future. Jesus makes all things possible, for “With God, nothing shall be impossible.”

Jesus: Beside Him There is No Savior

DC 76:1

1 Hear, O ye heavens, and give ear, O earth, and rejoice ye inhabitants thereof, for the Lord is God, and beside him there is no Savior.

2 Great is his wisdom, marvelous are his ways, and the extent of his doings none can find out.

3 His purposes fail not, neither are there any who can stay his hand.

4 From eternity to eternity he is the same, and his years never fail.

5 For thus saith the Lord—I, the Lord, am merciful and gracious unto those who fear me, and delight to honor those who serve me in righteousness and in truth unto the end.

6 Great shall be their reward and eternal shall be their glory.

Jesus is the only Savior, for there is no other. He is the Only Begotten Son of God in the flesh. Through His atoning sacrifice, the shedding of His blood, and being resurrected, He became our only Savior and Redeemer. No one else could shed their own blood to atone for the sins of another; Jesus only could have done such because of His divine sonship with Elohim, Heavenly Father. From eternity to eternity His gospel does not change, for it is the same.

He will reward us with eternal glory, joy, happiness and peace if we but serve Him in righteousness until the end of our mortal lives.
