JESUS

In the Holy Scriptures there are many names and titles which are applied to our Lord and saviour, Jesus. He is said to be the Word. He is called Wisdom. Light and Power, man and lamb, sheep and priest, He is the Way, the Truth and the Life, a vine. Justice and Redemption, bread, a stone and doctor, a fount of living water, peace and judge and door. Yet for all these names which are to help us grasp the nature and range of His power, there is but one and the same Son of God who is our God. These many names and titles belong to one Lord. Take courage, therefore. . . . And plant your hope firmly in Him. If you would learn of the Father, listen to this Word.
If you would be wise, ask Him Who is Wisdom. When it is too dark for you to see, seek Christ for He is the Light. Are you sick? Have recourse to Him Who is both doctor and healer.
Would you know by whom the world was made and all things are sustained? Believe in Him for He is the arm and right hand. Are you afraid of this or that? Remember He will stand beside you like an angel. If you are innocent like a lamb He will join your company. If you are saddened by persecution, take courage. Remember that He Himself went like a lamb to the slaughter, and, priest that He is. He will offer you up as a victim to the Father. If you do not know the way of salvation, look for Christ, for He is the road for souls. If it is truth that you want, listen to Him, for He is the truth. Have no fear whatever of death, for Christ is the life of those who believe.  What do you call Him?

Salom! – By Samuel.
