JESUS THE CHRIST;
OUR MASTER AND MORE

We honor Him as the most important individual ever to live on planet Earth. He is Jesus the Christ, our Master and more. He has numerous names, titles, and responsibilities, all of eternal significance. In the space allotted here we could not fully consider or comprehend all the important facets of His life.

CREATOR
Under the direction of the Father, Jesus bore the responsibility of Creator. His title was "the Word," (see John 1:1; JST, John 1:16). In the Greek language of the New Testament, Word was Logos, or "expression." It was another name for the Master. That terminology may seem strange, but it is appropriate. We use words to convey our expression to others. So Jesus was the Word, or expression, of His Father to the world

"The light and the Redeemer of the world; the Spirit of truth, who came into the world, because the world was made by him, and in him was the life of men and the light of men.

JEHOVAH
Jesus was Jehovah (see Ex. 6:3; Ps. 83:18; Isa. 12:2; Isa. 26:4). The use of this holy name is also confirmed in modern scripture (see Moro. 10:34; D&C 109:68; D&C 110:3; D&C 128:9). Jehovah is derived from the Hebrew word hayah, which means "to be" or "to exist." A form of the word hayah in the Hebrew text of the Old Testament was translated as I AM (see Ex. 3:14).

Jehovah had thus revealed to Moses this very name that He had meekly and modestly chosen for His own premortal identification: "I AM."

"I am the first and the last; I am he who liveth, I am he who was slain" (D&C 110:2--4; emphasis added; see also D&C 76:23).

Jesus fulfilled His responsibility as Jehovah, "the Great I AM," with eternal consequence.

SON OF GOD
Jesus alone bore His responsibility as the Son of God, the Only Begotten Son of the Father (see John 1:14, 18; John 3:16). Jesus was literally "the Son of the Highest" (Luke 1:32; see also Luke 1:35). In more than a dozen verses of scripture, the solemn word of God the Father bears testimony that Jesus is truly His Beloved Son. That solemn testimony is often coupled with God's pleading for mankind to hear and obey the voice of His revered Son (see Matt. 3:17; Matt. 17:5; Mark 1:11; Mark 9:7; Luke 3:22; Luke 9:35; 2 Pet. 1:17; 2 Ne. 31:11; 3 Ne. 11:7; 3 Ne. 21:20; D&C 93:15; Moses 4:2; JS—H 1:17). Through the condescension of God, that most unlikely prophecy of Isaiah (see Isa. 7:14) became a reality.

We comprehend that distinction well when we pray to our Heavenly Father in the name of His Son, Jesus Christ. And as we do so regularly, we honor our heavenly and earthly parentage, just as Jesus honored His—as the Son of God.

SAVIOR AND REEDEMER
Jesus was born to be Savior and Redeemer of all mankind (see Isa. 49:26; 1 Ne. 10:5). He was the Lamb of God (see 1 Ne. 10:10), who offered Himself without spot or blemish (see 1 Pet. 1:19) as a sacrifice for the sins of the world (see John 1:29). Later, as the resurrected Lord, He related that sacred responsibility to the meaning of the gospel, which He described in one powerful passage:

"Behold I have given unto you my gospel, and this is the gospel which I have given unto you—-that I came into the world to do the will of my Father, because my Father sent me.

"And my Father sent me that I might be lifted up upon the cross" (3 Ne. 27:13--14; see also 3 Ne. 27:15--22).

MILLENNIAL MESSIA
One of the Lord's ultimate responsibilities lies yet in the future. That will be His masterful status as the Millennial Messiah. When that day comes, the physical face of the earth will have been changed: "Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low: and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places plain" (Isa. 40:4). Then Jesus will return to the earth. His Second Coming will be no secret. It will be broadly known: "The glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together" (Isa. 40:5).

As His disciples, you and I bear mighty responsibilities too. Wherever I walk, it is my divine calling and sacred privilege to bear fervent testimony of Jesus the Christ. He lives! I love Him. Eagerly I follow Him, and willingly I offer my life in His service. As His special witness, I solemnly teach of Him. I testify of Him. And each of you also has the responsibility to know the Lord, love Him, follow Him, serve Him, and teach and testify of Him.
