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.
BELOVED Friend
In Him be faithful, who is our CROWN. Let no man take our glorious CROWN from us.
We have a Light which we do well to take heed unto, that shines in a dark place, until the Day dawn and the DAY STAR arise in our hearts.
EVERLASTING COMMANDER who says love our enemies.
FIRST and the Last, the Top and Cornerstone. In him sit down in Life, Peace and Rest.
GOVERNOR who governs His Church in righteousness.
None comes to be children of the Light but by receiving Christ, the HOPE OF GLORY.
Christ sets up an INWARD, spiritual ministry, a spiritual worship and Fellowship, a Church without spot or wrinkle and a religion that is pure from above.
Every one of us hears His voice that speaks from heaven. In him we shall know that which cannot be shaken. There is the true JOY.
KING of KINGS and LORD of LORDS, LAMB. Let Him rule and reign in all our hearts by Faith.
Deliverer, MEDIATOR and intercessor who makes Peace between everyone and God.
CHRIST IS NEAR.
Neither be ashamed of the Bishop who is the OVERSEER of our souls.
POWER
Christ has all Power in heaven and earth given to him that all may feel his living and divine Presence among them.
Power and Spirit meet together in Jesus Christ. He is the sovereign Lord of the Universe; He has power over all men so they owe Him allegiance. Christ rules in power as universal king.
Keep your Faith in the Power of God, which will bring you to the Marriage of the Lamb, by which Power you may have oil in your lamps, that your lamps may burn always.
PROPHET, to open to us, a PRIEST forever to sanctify us, an everlasting PREACHER, whom God has anointed to preach Grace, Life, Salvation and Truth to us. PROMISE, who opens and none can shut.
The QUICKENING Spirit and ROCK of our age and ages; the Lord from heaven.

The name SEED is Biblical: Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to the seed, which is Christ. Galatians 3:16.
Christ the SEED never changes but stands steadfast and distinct from everything that changes. Dwell in this immortal SEED of God who is to have Dominion in all of us.

And there is the SAFE SITTING in Christ, the new and living Way, the Word of God, the Power of God, the Light, the Life and Truth, the first, the last, the beginning, the ending, in whom is no shadow of turnings nor variableness. The saints sit in Christ, the head, and there are the exceeding riches and the kindness known again.
Sit under our universal TEACHER who brings us the grace of God.
All dwell in Christ Jesus who is UNCHANGEABLE so that we come to judge all the changeable ways and worship.
Death is swallowed up in VICTORY. For by man, namely Adam, came death and by man, namely Christ, came the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, even so, in Christ shall all be made alive.
Keep under the WINGS of Christ who destroys the destroyers.
Take Christ as our eXample that there be no strife among us; take Christ as our eXample and cry, Father forgive them. eXalt Him in our assemblies.
Collar the oxen, bridle the horses, tame the wild heifer. Bring us to Christ s YOKE so that we may see our way of salvation.
Be clothed with the ZEAL of Christ and stand against all that is contrary to the Light.
