Thought of the Sunday 6

This week I was thinking a lot about my Savior.  I studied the names and titles that He goes by in the scriptures.  Here are a few that I came up with (with the help of the topical guide of course).  I actually came up with twenty names and scriptures but I will let you discover them all for yourself.

The Good Shepherd:  John 10:11 (11-18)  "I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep."  He gave His life for us.

Lamb of God: 1 Nehpi 13:40  "And the angel spake unto me, saying: These last records, which thou hast seen among the Gentiles, shall establish the truth of the first, which are of the twelve apostles of the Lamb, and shall make known the plain and precious things which have been taken away from them; and shall make known to all kindreds, tongues, and people, that the Lamb of God is the Son of the Eternal Father, and the Savior of the world; and that all men must come unto him, or they cannot be saved."  The Lamb of God is our only way to salvation.

Example:  John 13:15  "For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you."  He has given us the ultimate example and commanded us to follow it.

Mediator:  2 Nephi 2: 27-28 "Wherefore, men are free according to the flesh; and all things are given them which are expedient unto man. And they are free to choose liberty and eternal life, through the great Mediator of all men, or to choose captivity and death, according to the captivity and power of the devil; for he seeketh that all men might be miserable like unto himself.

And now, my sons, I would that ye should look to the great Mediator, and hearken unto his great commandments; and be faithful unto his words, and choose eternal life, according to the will of his Holy Spirit;"  Through the Atonement given to all men we can choose liberty and eternal life. 

Light of the World:  3 Nephi 18:24 "Therefore, hold up your light that it may shine unto the world. Behold I am the light which ye shall hold up—that which ye have seen me do. Behold ye see that I have prayed unto the Father, and ye all have witnessed."  He is the light that we shine to others through our obedience and actions.

After I had found these titles and thought about them for a few days I was prompted to think about some of my own titles: child of God, daughter, wife, sister, disciple, missionary, creator, and Savior on Mt. Zion (a reference to family history work).  This list and this week has helped me further realize that all that I am and can do is because of and through my Savior Jesus Christ.
