Part of having an effective relationship and connection with eternal life is understanding the Savior and who he is. The Savior is the center of all and he is the reason we have life and a promise for the future after this life has ended. To know more about him we have to understand 5 things about him before he was alive and 5 things about him while he walked the earth.
Before
1. Jesus was the Light
2. God created Jesus to save his children
3. Jesus was The Word of God
4. Jesus knew about his fate before he came down
5. Jesus wanted to save us.
After
1. Jesus was in the world. He is one of us, and the world rejected him
2. He was selfless in all that he did.
3. He knew on Earth what he needed to do and did it willingly
4. He was aware of his powers and the Light inside him.
5. Those who received him were blessed as God's children.
Jesus the Christ had a lot of different names. One of the ways we can learn more about who he is is by learning about his different names. Some of his most famous ones are Christ, Messiah, Jehovah, Immanuel, and The Word.
- Christ means the anointed one. The Lord anointed Jesus as the chosen one. As his firstborn son he was chosen to do the Lord's work on earth and save mankind.
- Messiah means the anointed one in Aramaic; it's used as a title of office. The Hebrews used this name to identify their prophesized deliverer that they were eagerly expecting.
- Jehovah is the covenant or proper name of the God of Israel. It means "the unchangeable one" or "the great I AM." Jehovah is the premortal Jesus Christ, before he came down to earth to save mankind.
- Immanuel means "God with us" it's a name title given in Isaiah as sign of God's deliverance. It signifies that Christ as God will be born into mortality from a virgin and will walk the earth and redeem mankind.
- The Word refers to the Greek meaning of "Word." It meant Logos or expression, and it was also another name for master. Jesus was the Word, or the expression of His Father to the world.
