JESUS CHRIST: DIVINE SON OF GOD

Jesus Christ is the Promised Messiah, the Promised Savior of the World

22 And when he had removed him, he raised up unto them David to be their king; to whom also he gave testimony, and said, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after mine own heart, which shall fulfil all my will.

23 Of this man’s seed hath God according to his promise raised unto Israel a Saviour, Jesus.

--Acts 13:23

Jesus Christ is the Promised Messiah, the promised Savior, the one that God the Father promised Israel that would come. Prophets prophesied that Jesus would be born through the lineage of David, the son of Jesse, and this prophecy was fulfilled. The entire Old Testament points to the coming of the Messiah, the promised Savior, that He would come in the Meridian of Time. Jesus was born of Mary. He is the divine son of God the Father. Jesus had a mortal mother and an immortal Father, making Jesus the divine Son of God, the Promised Savior.

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."

The Birth of Jesus

Matthew 1:21

20 But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.

21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.

Jesus was born of Mary and Joseph at Jerusalem. Joseph was called the son of David because he was of the lineage of David; thus, Jesus was of the lineage of David. Jesus was born of a mortal mother, Mary, and an immortal Father, Elohim.

The angel told Joseph and Mary to name their new born babe, Jesus, for He would save the world from their sins, not in their sins, but from their sins predicated upon their repentance. Saving people from their sins made Him the Savior, the one who saves, rescues, preserves, delivers. He is the Savior, the Rescuer, the Preserver, and the Deliverer for all humanity and all living things. He is the Only Begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth. Beside Him, there is no other. He is the Great I Am. He is the powerful I Am.

Jesus Christ: God of the Whole Earth

Isaiah 54:5

For thy Maker is thine husband; the Lord of hosts is his name; and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; The God of the whole earth shall he be called.

JESUS CHRIST is our Redeemer, the God of the whole earth. He is our Savior and Maker. Jesus is the crucified One, the great Atoner, the only one with power to lay down His life and take it again.

17 Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again.

18 No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father (John 10:17-18).

Jesus received this power in the pre-mortal life prior to being born here on earth. He is the divine Son of God having a mortal mother and an immortal Father; thus, inheriting Godhood from His Father and mortality from His mother, Mary. He is the Only Begotten Son of God in the flesh. He now is God of the whole earth, for there is none like Him.
