JESUS CHRIST: SON of THE BLESSED

Jesus Sitting on the Right Hand of Power

Jesus is questioned and then He responds, Again the high priest asked him, and said unto him, Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed? And Jesus said, I am: and ye shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.

--Mark 14:61

Jesus is the Christ, and He testifies of himself, that He is the Son of the Blessed and sits on the right hand of God the Father, meaning that He is at the Father’s side in all He does. He is God’s son and obeys His Father. Jesus will return for the Second Coming in due time. He will come and will be seen in the clouds of heaven.

Jesus will not and cannot force anyone to do good or evil. He can persuade and encourage and prompt, but will never force. Each individual has the freedom to choose for himself/herself to do right or wrong. Jesus, while living in mortality, chose the right and never the wrong. We need to seek to be like Him.

Jesus Christ: What Manner of Men Ought Ye to Be?

The Great I AM

Mosiah 16:15

Redemption cometh through Christ the Lord.

Jesus said, "What manner of men ought ye to be? Verily I say, 'Even as I Am.' " (See 3 Nephi 27:27) 

Redemption, freedom from sin, comes through Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. He was foreordained in the councils of heaven before this world was created to come down and be the Savior of all mankind. He is the Firstborn of Heavenly Father in the pre-earth life, and is the Only Begotten Son of God in the flesh. Jesus removes our every sin and spot from our hearts and lives as we turn to Him through  prayer and repentance.

Repentance means to improve. To repent means to feel or express sincere regret or remorse for one’s wrongdoing or sin, to feel humble and contrite over  one’s misconduct against God’s laws. Repentance is a gift from Almighty God. As we are improving, we are repenting. Our goal is to become Christlike. We should constantly be in a state of improving ourselves in becoming more like Christ. As we do, then we are in the spirit of repentance always, and this is pleasing to God and Jesus.
