This is a really rough draft so please keep that in mind. What would you add (ie actions of Jesus, service/ministering you've seen offered)? What would you put or move to a different section or line? Any other ideas to consider? Thanks!

First on my list would be the Atonement.  His love, compassion and mercy would also be high up there.  

I would not make a statement somewhat off the cuff and a bit of speculation - Warning this may upset some thinkers.  Anciently - among the pagans (in particular the followers of Baal) walking on water was the sign of a g-d or a capability of all g-ds.  I has speculated that the epoch of Jesus walking on the water may be a human addition to scripture to attempt to prove the divinity of Christ in worldly terms.  I am not discounting Christ or his mission - just that in all my searching, pondering and prayers -- I have never been given spiritual assurance as I have with other testimonies of Christ.  If somehow this was demonstrated to not be true - it would not change one bit my belief in Christ and his divine mission.

I do believe that all the works of Christ - we can and should become invested and participate in with Christ and in his name.  I believe that with the Holy Spirit we can do all things and be a part.  We speak of his atonement - I believe it is possible that we can participate with him in the great miracle of atonement.

I think you are getting at the first thing that came to my mind and that is us becoming saviors on Mount Zion. It's obviously not equating what we do with the Savior's atoning sacrifice but there is a degree of sacrifice, however small in comparison, that does allow us to participate in saving our kindred dead.
