Jesus Christ, Our Savior and Redeemer..
Just a few quotes..You really need to read this chapter. It has soooo much information that I can't really share it all.
No other single influence has had so great an impact on this earth as the life of Jesus the Christ.
Jesus came to earth to do our Father's will
He came with a foreknowledge that He would bear the burden of the sins of us all
He knew he would be lifted up on the cross
He was born to be the Savior and Redeemer of all mankind
He was able to accomplish His mission because He was the Son of God and He possessed the power of God
He was willing to accomplish His mission because He loves us
In Gethsemane and on Calvary, Jesus worked out the infinite and eternal atonement. It was the greatest single act of love in recorded history. Then followed His death and resurrection.
Thus he became our Redeemer!!!
EVERYTHING he did was prompted by His unselfish, infinite love for us!!
We must gain our own personal testimonies of Jesus Christ
To have a testimony of Jesus is to possess knowledge through the Holy Ghost.
A testimony of Jesus is:
To know the divine nature of our Lord's birth
that He is indeed the Only Begotten Son
that He was the promised Messiah
that His doctrines are true
That He voluntarily took upon Himself the sins of all mankind in the Garden of Gethsemane
that He came forth triumphantly from the grave with a physical, resurrected body
that He actually appeared to the Prophet Joseph Smith and established a new dispensation of His gospel
that the church that He established in this dispensation is the only true and living church upon the face of the whole earth.
Having such a testimony is vital. But of even greater importance is BEING valiant in our testimony.
WOW---there is so much material. Please read it. You will be greatly rewarded.
I want each of you ladies in our ward to know that I have a testimony of Jesus Christ. I have felt His love and influence in my life. I know that he lives and wants so badly for us to come unto Him. We need to be people of action. We need to show Him where our hearts are and who He can depend on. I love this gospel and I know that if we live it, it will bring us happiness and joy in this life. We love each of you so much and pray for you daily. Hoping that life will bring you the righteous desires of your hearts.
Thanks Melissa for the lesson. We missed you if you weren't there!!
