Names of Christ

Happy Easter everyone!

In the days leading up to Easter this year, I’ve appreciated all the reminders of Jesus Christ, our Savior, and the ultimate sacrifice that He made for us. Because of Him, we will be saved for both death and hell. Jesus Christ gives us salvation!

Recently I heard a talk on Amulek’s sermon in Alma chapter 34. I keep finding myself coming back to its beautiful message. It is quickly becoming one of my favorite chapters of scripture. Normally, I like to break up quotes into smaller chunks, but I really wanted to share Amulek’s testimony as a whole. So please resist the urge to skip the long block of text and take a moment to soak in his testimony of the Savior.

When my great-grandma was little, their family had chickens. One rooster in particular was mean. It would chase her around the yard with her screaming, it screaming, and her screaming some more.

Eventually her dad got sick of the screaming, so said-rooster became dinner. The whole family felt rather satisfied stuffing the ornery rooster in their bellies—except my great-grandma. She hated the rooster so much that she refused to even eat it.

Thousands of years ago, a rather different kind of story happened. God warned Moses that the worst plague of all was coming to Egypt. The first born son in every family would die. However, the Israelites could protect themselves with a very specific sacrificial offering—a firstborn lamb without blemish would need to die in their stead.

The scriptures teach us that spiritual light comes from Jesus Christ.

“In him was life; and the life was the light of men.

And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not…

That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.”
John 1:4-5,9
