JESUS CHRIST: OUR TOP PRIORITY

Jesus Christ

The Great Atoner

Colossians 1:12-14

12 Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:

13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:

14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:

We need to thank the Father for all things, and acknowledge His hand in all things. He has delivered us from darkness and doubt and made His Only Begotten Son the Great Atoner. His Son, even Jesus the Christ, is forever our Savior and Redeemer. “Thou shalt have no other gods before me” is the commandment. Christ is first and foremost our top priority.

Redemption comes through Christ’s atoning blood that was shed for all.  He suffered, bled and died so that we might receive forgiving or pardoning of our sins and then granting us the blessing of life, even the abundant life.  He overcame death when He resurrected himself and won the victory over death and the grave. He alone is our Redeemer and Atoner to make reconciliation possible  to the Father.

“Jesus Christ possessed merits that no other child of Heavenly Father could possibly have. He was a God, Jehovah, before His birth in Bethlehem. His Father not only gave Him His spirit body, but Jesus was His Only Begotten Son in the flesh” (Richard G. Scott, April 1997 General Conference)
