Eyes as a Flame of Fire, Eternal Life

 THE LIVING CHRIST

 THE TESTIMONY OF THE APOSTLES 

THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS

"Of the Living Christ, the Prophet Joseph wrote: “His eyes were as a flame of fire; the hair of his head was white like the pure snow; his countenance shone above the brightness of the sun; and his voice was as the sound of the rushing of great waters, even the voice of Jehovah, saying: “I am the first and the last; I am he who liveth, I am he who was slain; I am your advocate with the Father” (D&C 110:3–4). " . . . .  His way is the path that leads to happiness in this life and eternal life in the world to come. God be thanked for the matchless gift of His divine Son."

Doing Good, Despised, Raising the Dead

 

 THE LIVING CHRIST

 THE TESTIMONY OF THE APOSTLES 

THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS

"He “went about doing good” (Acts 10:38), yet was despised for it. His gospel was a message of peace and goodwill. He entreated all to follow His example. He walked the roads of Palestine, healing the sick, causing the blind to see, and raising the dead. He taught the truths of eternity, the reality of our premortal existence, the purpose of our life on earth, and the potential for the sons and daughters of God in the life to come."

I'm very grateful for the example of Christ.

Christ, Creator of the Earth, Crucified on Calvary's Cross, Chief Cornerstone of His Church

THE LIVING CHRIST

 THE TESTIMONY OF THE APOSTLES 

THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS

"He instituted the sacrament as a reminder of His great atoning sacrifice. He was arrested and condemned on spurious charges, convicted to satisfy a mob, and sentenced to die on Calvary’s cross. He gave His life to atone for the sins of all mankind. His was a great vicarious gift in behalf of all who would ever live upon the earth. We solemnly testify that His life, which is central to all human history, neither began in Bethlehem nor concluded on Calvary. He was the Firstborn of the Father, the Only Begotten Son in the flesh, the Redeemer of the world. He rose from the grave to “become the firstfruits of them that slept” (1 Corinthians 15:20).       . . . “That by him, and through him, and of him, the worlds are and were created, and the inhabitants thereof are begotten sons and daughters unto God” (D&C 76:22–24). We declare in words of solemnity that His priesthood and His Church have been restored upon the earth— “built upon the foundation of . . . apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone” (Ephesians 2:20).

Atoning Sacrifice of Jesus Christ: Advocate with the Father

 THE LIVING CHRIST

 THE TESTIMONY OF THE APOSTLES 

THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS

"As we commemorate the birth of Jesus Christ two millennia ago, we offer our testimony of the reality of His matchless life and the infinite virtue of His great atoning sacrifice. None other has had so profound an influence upon all who have lived and will yet live upon the earth. . . . 

“I am the first and the last; I am he who liveth, I am he who was slain; I am your advocate with the Father” (D&C 110:3–4)."

"What is the Atonement?  To atone means to compensate or pay for something.  Jesus Christ's Atonement references His Payment for the sins of mankind.  It has the power to provide hope and alleviate the burden of sin for anyone."

Quote Reference

 What is an advocate?  Someone who supports and speaks up for someone else.   

Reference

In these troubled times, I rely on the comfort and guidance of our Savior Jesus Christ, and am profoundly grateful for his atonement and his willingness to be our advocate with the Father.
