JESUS CHRIST: THE ANOINTED ONE

Find Christ in the Scriptures

And it shall come to pass in that day that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the

anointing.

--2 Nephi 20:27

Jesus was anointed by His Father to be the Savior and Redeemer of the world. His yoke is easy and His burden is light when we turn to Him. If we trust in Him, cast our burden upon Him, then He will ease our burdens so that they may be light. Jesus is The Anointed One. Jesus is with us every minute if we believe in Him and believe Him. He is the ultimate source of light and life; even, the light and life of the world. Choosing to follow Christ is choosing Eternal life. Look to Christ and live.

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.
