His name shall be called Wonderful

I am so greatful to my wonderful friend Jennie for posting in her blog about this amazing artist Mark Mabry. He is an inspired photographer who has created a photographic depiction of Christ's life, making the most beautiful pictures of the Savior I have seen. I really feel closer to the Savior when I look at the pictures he has taken and the way he has been inspired to protray our Redeemer. I first saw his pictures at a fireside for families involved in the production of Savior of the World in our stake. I was instantly enamored, and have been thinking almost daily of where and how I could get copies of these beautiful pictures. I hope to end up with all of them in my home.
Here are a couple that I love (as if I could really chose some that I love more than the others)

This picture is particularly significant to me because it reminds me of what Christ and I have in common: our love for the heavy laden. I am so grateful for opportunities to remember that His name shall be called Counselor, because He has counseled, healed and comforted me when others could not, despite their love for me. But because of His sacrifice, He knows perfectly each pain and confusion I, and we all, have suffered.


The Savior of the world is perfect in his example. I know this picture shows how the Savior did feel the day His cousin baptized Him in the River Jordan. Was I as happy as He the day I entered the waters of baptism?

He loves, He lives and He knows us each in ALL our trials and triumphs.
