Name of Jesus as Used in the Bible

Alpha and Omega

(Doctrine and Covenants Commentary, p. 91)

The first and the last letter of the Greek alphabet, used as symbols of the beginning and the ending. Christ is so called, because He is the Author and the Preserver of all things (Heb. 1:2, 10).

Alphus Omegus

(Doctrine and Covenants Commentary, p. 604)

The same as Alpha and Omega in Rev. 1:8 and 22:13; the first and the last letters of the Greek alphabet, meaning, "the first and the last." Our Savior is so called, to denote that He is the beginning and the ending: the author, preserver, and upholder of all things, and His glory the end of them. "Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power, for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created" (Rev. 4:11).

The Mighty God

from Christ and the New Covenant, p. 81

"Mighty God" conveys something of the power of God, his strength, omnipotence, and unconquerable influence. Isaiah sees him as always able to overcome the effects of sin and transgression in his people and to triumph forever over the would-be oppressors of the children of Israel.

Mighty God. Some modern scholars would like to understand this to mean that our Redeemer is here referred to as mighty "warrior." He was that in the conflict that ended with the expulsion of the fallen angel from the presence of God. See Luke 10:18; Rev. 12:9; 2 Ne. 2:17, 18; D. and C. 29:36, 37; Pearl of Great Price, Mos. 4:3, 4. But he was also "God." The name indicates his divinity.

Name of Jesus

The Prince of Peace

from Commentary on the Book of Mormon, Volume 1, p. 349

If we divide mankind into two great divisions, one governed by law and the peaceful administration of the law, and the other by tyrannic violence, then we will find the Prince of peace at the head of the first of these divisions. That is his kingdom, as the Prince of Peace.

from Mormon Doctrine, p. 600

This title of our Lord signifies one of the most glorious aspects both of his gospel and of his governmental reign. In the gospel of the Prince of Peace are found the principles by obedience to which peace can be obtained by any righteous person. Peace comes from the Spirit of the Lord. But the final and enduring peace for all men on earth will not arrive until the Second Coming of the Prince of Peace, his coming in power and glory to usher in the millennial era.

Firstborn

from Mormon Doctrine, p. 281

Christ is the Firstborn, meaning that he was the first Spirit child born to God the Father in the pre-existence. (D & C 93:21; John 1:1-5; Romans 8:29; Col. 1:15.) He is also the Firstborn from the Dead, which signifies that he was the first person resurrected. (Col. 1:18.)

Name of Jesus

Lamb of God

from Mormon Doctrine, p. 429

Christ is "the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world." (John 1:29, 36; D&C 76:85; 88:106; 1 Ne. 13.) He is "the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world"
