Chris.
The Word meaning for Jasper is Supreme Nurturer. It gives us a beautiful picture of God Himself, Who is our Supreme Nurturer. Whatever stage we are at in our Christian Life and Walk with the Lord, we will always need Him to be our Supreme Nurturer, our Life Giver. Another meaning, in ancient Persian, is "Treasurer", it was the name given to one of the Three Wise Men who came from the East to visit the Baby Jesus and His parents.
