The name _______________ means “the anointed.” This name for Jesus reminds us that He was the King the prophets and scriptures had taught about.

Before Jesus was born on earth, He was called ________________, the God of Israel. This name was so sacred that Jewish people didn’t say it out loud, but instead used other names like Lord when talking about Him.

Psalm 23:1–3

Jesus is the Good _______________. He loves us and wants to guide and protect us, just like a shepherd cares for his flocks.

2 Nephi 2:28

A _________________ is a go-between person, or someone who helps solve problems between people. Because we all sin, we all need help to be able to live with God again. Jesus can help us with this problem! He “mediates” for us, giving us chances to change and have eternal life even though we make mistakes.

Isaiah 40:28

Jesus is sometimes called the _________________ because He helped make this beautiful earth for us, under the direction of Heavenly Father.
