Over 28 years ago, then-Elder Russell M. Nelson spoke in a devotional at Brigham Young University, and though that address was given decades ago, his words are just as relevant today.

On Thursday, BYU Speeches released a video titled “Names of the Savior,” which pairs remarks from President Nelson’s 1992 address, “Jesus the Christ—Our Master and More,” with beautiful imagery and artwork.
