Why try to write my own when I just found this:

From the

Decree of Damasus:

The arrangement of the names of Christ, however, is manifold:

Lord, because He is Spirit;

Word, because He is God;

Son, because He is the only-begotten son of the Father;

Man, because He was born of the Virgin;

Priest, because He offered Himself as a sacrifice;

Shepherd, because He is a guardian;

Worm, because He rose again;

Mountain, because He is strong;

Way, because there is a straight path through Him to life;

Lamb, because He suffered;

Corner-Stone, because instruction is His;

Teacher, because He demonstrates how to live;

Sun, because He is the illuminator;

Truth, because He is from the Father;

Life, because He is the creator;

Bread because He is flesh;

Samaritan, because He is the merciful protector;

Christ, because He is anointed;

Jesus, because He is a mediator;

Vine, because we are redeemed by His blood;

Lion, because he is king;

Rock, because He is firm;

Flower, because He is the chosen one;

Prophet, because He has revealed what is to come!

AMEN
