JESUS CHRIST: SEE CHRIST AND LIVE

2 Nephi 11:2

And now I, Nephi, write more of the words of Isaiah, for my soul delighteth in his words. For I will liken his words unto my people, and I will send them forth unto all my children, for he verily saw my Redeemer, even as I have seen him.

People have seen Christ.  Moses, Isaiah, Nephi, Joseph Smith, just to name a few. A man of God can see God and live. Jesus Christ is our Redeemer, and Nephi testifies that He has seen Him, even as Isaiah saw Him. Seeing God is one way God reveals himself to mankind. Other methods include: visions, dreams, the spoken word, impressions, manifestations of the Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ is a living God, and God the Father, is a living Father and God, even God the Father.

JESUS CHRIST: SOURCE OF ULTIMATE HAPPINESS

January 2, 2014

Alma 5:27

About 83 B.C, Alma the prophet asked these questions, “Have ye walked, keeping yourselves blameless before God? Could ye say, if ye were called to die at this time, within yourselves, that ye have been sufficiently humble? That your garments have been cleansed and made white through the blood of Christ, who will come to redeem his people from their sins?”

Being blameless before God is to be clean, pure, spotless from the stains of sins of worldliness, upright, and righteous. To be humble is to be teachable, meek, modest, ‘having a modest or low estimate of one’s own importance.’ Garments are lives of people. Are our lives clean and white through obedience to God’s laws and commandments and covenants? We can become clean from the blood and sin of this generation through the sacrificed blood of Jesus Christ, the Savior of the world. His blood removes worldly spots from our lives and makes us clean every whit. Seeking to follow Christ is our number one concern, for when we follow Him we are in the path of righteousness leading to happiness now and eternal happiness and joy throughout eternity.

Our main objective in life is to experience happiness. “Happiness is the object and design of our existence and will be the end thereof if we pursue the path that leads to it, and that path is: Virtue, Uprightness, Faithfulness, Holiness, and keeping all the commandments of God” (Joseph Smith,  History of the Church, 5:134–35).

Benjamin De Hoyos said, “No one needs to feel alone on the road of life, for we are all invited to come unto Christ and be perfected in Him. Happiness is the purpose of the gospel and the purpose of the redeeming Atonement for all men” (See “True Happiness: A Conscious Decision,” October 2005, General Conference). The atonement of Jesus Christ brings happiness as we apply the atoning blood of Christ in our lives and access the power of His Atonement.

Jesus Christ, Our Savior and Redeemer

Mosiah 18:2

Yea, concerning that which was to come, and also concerning the resurrection of the dead, and the redemption of the people, which was to be brought to pass through the power, and sufferings, and death of Christ, and his resurrection and ascension into heaven. (Approximately 148 BC)

The preceding passage of scripture was referenced about 148 BC, prior to the birth of Christ. Prophets prophesied of the coming of Christ. Christ would come to earth via birth through  Mary and the Power of God the Father. He would come as a divine Son of God. The atonement of Christ would take place through His power, sufferings, death, resurrection, and his ascending into heaven.  Jesus is The Great Atoner. In Christ, all will be resurrected and inherit their eternal destiny predicated upon the type of life they lived during mortality and in the spirit world. He holds all creations in His hands.

There is a place for everyone, good or bad, in God’s plan. The Lord’s plan of salvation is just and merciful; however, God will not be mocked. One cannot secretly sin and avoid the judgments of God. Sooner or later the sinner will account for his errors. He may not be judged by man in the flesh, but he will report to the eternal Judge, for God and Christ know all things.

Joseph Smith said, "This is the Gospel, the glad tidings…that He came into the world, even Jesus, to be crucified for the world, and to bear the sins of the world."

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.

Joseph Smith sees Brigham Young

"I saw (in vision) Brigham Young standing in a strange land, in the far south and west, in a desert place, upon a rock in the midst of about a dozen men of color, who appeared hostile. He was preaching to them in their own tongue, and the angel of God standing above his head, with a drawn sword in his hand, protecting him, but he did not see it." (Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, p. 108) Cross reference with Helaman 16:2.
