“One simple way we get to know someone is by learning their name.��Jesus knew and called people by name. To ancient Israel, the Lord said, “Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine”…

Just as Jesus knows each of us by name, one way we can come to better know Jesus is by learning His many names. … Many of Jesus’s names are titles that help us understand His mission, purpose, character, and attributes. As we come to know Jesus’s many names, we will come to better understand His divine mission and His selfless character. Knowing His many names also inspires us to become more like Him.”

  • Elder Jonathan S. Schmitt

—President Russell M. Nelson

Jesus is our Advocate with the Father. The word advocate comes from Latin roots meaning a “voice for,” or “one who pleads for another.” Other related terms are used in scripture, such as intercessor or mediator…

… Comprehending him as our advocate-intercessor-mediator with the Father gives us assurance of his unequaled understanding, justice, and mercy”
