Introduction
I am elderly and do not think in big broad sweeps any more but in smaller units. I wouldn’t be surprised if there are not a lot of people like me. So I have written – with awe and reverence – about our Blessed Lord Jesus Christ in these small units. Why ABCs? It just helps me remember what I have written. When I go to bed at night I can begin with A and go on to Z.
I used the King James Version of the Bible for the biblical quotes. Some words that I thought were in the Bible were not. Rose, Victorious,
Some words that are certainly true of Our Lord like Wondrous are not in the Bible.
I have had a very good time writing this. I hope the reader will enjoy it too.

MY CREED: WHAT I BELIEVE
ABOUT CHRIST JESUS
I believe in Jesus Christ, the beloved Son of God, who was conceived by the Holy Ghost and born of the Virgin Mary.
He is my Redeemer and Savior; my beloved Friend whom I may trust. He is Hope, the center of my life. He, who knew no sin, was crucified for me, buried, and rose again the third day by the power of His Father.
He ascended up into heaven and now sits on the right hand of God; the Quickening Spirit, the Lord from heaven.
Christ is God s Son, the way to God, the Second Adam, who never fell, eternal life. He is the Light who has enlightened every man who has come into the world. The Word, he brings the glad tidings of salvation. He is the Mediator who makes peace; the Life which was with the Father before the world began. He is all virtue.
Christ is sufficient; Christ is the answer.

Believe in Jesus Christ for there is no true ANCHOR to the immortal soul but by Him; no divine reason but in that Faith which He is the AUTHOR of.

FIRST and the Last, the Top and Cornerstone. In him sit down in Life, Peace and Rest.
