JESUS: ONLY BEGOTTEN OF THE FATHER

Jesus Christ: The Son of God

6 And he shall cast out devils, or the evil spirits which dwell in the hearts of the children of men.

7 And lo, he shall suffer temptations, and pain of body, hunger, thirst, and fatigue, even more than man can suffer, except it be unto death; for behold, blood cometh from every pore, so great shall be his anguish for the wickedness and the abominations of his people.

8 And he shall be called Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the Father of heaven and earth, the Creator of all things from the beginning; and his mother shall be called Mary.

--Mosiah 3:8

Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God. For He is the Father of heaven and earth because He created the heavens and the earth. He is the creator of all things under the direction of the Father. He is Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. While on earth, He suffered pain, agony, and torture of all sorts, even suffering death of the cruel cross to atone for the sins of the world. Jesus suffered the pain of all’s sins because of His great, infinite love for us. He is the Son of God, the Only Begotten of the Father in the flesh.

JESUS CHRIST: THE LIGHT AND LIFE OF HUMANKIND

Jesus: Word-Messenger-Redeemer-Spirit of Truth

Therefore, in the beginning the Word was, for he was the Word, even the messenger of salvation—The light and the Redeemer of the world; the Spirit of truth, who came into the world, because the world was made by him, and in him was the life of men and the light of men.

--Doctrine and Covenants 93:9

Jesus Christ is the Word, and has been since the beginning. He is the messenger of salvation, the One who brought lessons from God the Father to mankind on the earth so man could become knowledgeable enough to know right and wrong and have the agency to choose. Jesus is the light of the world, even the Redeemer of all created things. He is known as the Spirit of truth because he declares truth and nothing but the truth.

Jesus being the light and life of the world includes the light and life within every human being. Without Him we are as nothing. We exist because of Him and the Father.

JESUS CHRIST: LIGHT AND LIFE

The Bitter Cup

Jesus said, “And behold, I am the light and the life of the world; and I have drunk out of that bitter cup which the Father hath given me, and have glorified the Father in taking upon me the sins of the world, in the which I have suffered the will of the Father in all things from the beginning.”

--Book of Mormon 3 Nephi 11:11

Jesus is the light and life of all created beings and things. His light is within every individual soul, animal, planet, the sun, the moon, star, tree, all things that were created by the Father through Jesus Christ. Jesus drunk from the bitter cup; He suffered pain and agony in Gethsemane and on the cross to glorify the Father and to fulfill the Father’s plan of salvation and exaltation. Jesus took upon himself the sins of the world from ages past to eternities to come-no ending. His atonement was infinite and eternal. His influence extends in the past to no beginning and to the future to no ending. His life and atonement is unlimited and never-ending. He is the Great Atoner.

Jesus Christ: Creator and Redeemer

Isaiah 44:24

Thus saith the Lord, thy redeemer, and he that formed thee from the womb, I am the Lord that maketh all things; that stretcheth forth the heavens alone; that spreadeth abroad the earth by myself.

JESUS CHRIST, our Lord and Redeemer, created all things under the direction of Heavenly Father, Elohim. Christ holds all things in His hands. The expanse of eternity is in His sight. He sees all things from beginning to no ending all in the present moment. There isn’t anything save He knows it. Jesus is our creator. He created us, man. He and other Gods first spiritually created all things , then the Gods formed or established their physical creation. The Gods consisted of Elohim, Jesus, Adam, probably Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Joseph Smith, and other noble and great spirits in the pre-mortal life.

Jesus is Lord of Lords and King of Kings. He is our Savior and Redeemer.
