I have several pictures of Christ that I'll put up...backwards. They won't be able to see them when they come in the room. Once they are seated I'll slowly turn them around and as them to tell me how the pictures made them feel. What thoughts did they have?

Jesus Christ is the Only Begotten Son of God the Eternal Father. He is our Creator. He is our Teacher. He is our Savior. His atonement paid for the sin of Adam and won victory over death, assuring resurrection and immortality for all men.
He is all of these, but he is more. Jesus Christ is the Savior, whose atoning sacrifice opens the door for us to be cleansed of our personal sins so that we can be readmitted to the presence of God. He is our Redeemer.
