JESUS: INDEED THE CHRIST

Samaritans Testify of Jesus as the Christ

39 ¶And many of the Samaritans of that city believed on him for the saying of the woman, which testified, He told me all that ever I did.

40 So when the Samaritans were come unto him, they besought him that he would tarry with them: and he abode there two days.

41 And many more believed because of his own word;

42 And said unto the woman, Now we believe, not because of thy saying: for we have heard him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world.

--John 4:42

Jesus is the Christ. People gain this assurance by the Holy Ghost. The Holy Ghost is the testator; he testifies to people the truth of things, and in this case, that Jesus is the very Christ that He said He was. The Samaritan woman told other Samaritans about Christ, and they desired to learn for themselves. So they went to Jesus and sure enough, they discovered that He was the Christ that she testified of. To know Him is to love Him.

Look at the train rails--what do you see?

Our natural eyes can deceive us. Our eyes tell us that the further the train track is away from us, the rails get closer to gather, almost to the point of touching each other. In reality we know this is not true. Gaining a knowledge of Jesus Christ, that He is the Christ, is obtained by the Holy Ghost, for the Holy Ghost doesn't deceive or lead us astray. "By the Holy Ghost ye may know the truth of all things." (Moroni 10:5) Therefore, seek to know Jesus and don't depend upon our natural eyes alone, although our natural can behold His beautiful creations, but in the final analysis, we must learn of His assurance by the power of the Spirit, the Spirit of the Holy Ghost.

JESUS CHRIST: TESTIFIES TO SAMARITAN WOMAN

Jesus testifies “I that speak unto thee am he.”

The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things. Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he.

--John 4:25-26

Jesus speaks with the Samaritan woman at Jacob’s well, and Jesus testifies of himself. She said that she knew that the Messiah would come, and that his name was called Christ. She knew things about Christ. She said that when He did come that He would tell them all things, that He was very knowledgeable. Lo, Jesus responded to the woman’s comments by saying, “I am He.” At first the woman found it hard to believe, but soon she realized that He was telling the truth, that the man she was speaking with was indeed Messiah, called the Christ.

Jesus, called Christ, is the Great Atoner, the Savior of the world. He is omnipotent, omnipresent, and omniscient. He possesses unlimited power and has all knowledge, and by the power of the Holy Ghost He can be anywhere. He is the Father’s Only Begotten Son in the flesh. He worked out the infinite Atonement for the salvation of all.
