As Latter-Day Saints, we affirm the divinity of Jesus Christ. We believe that He created the heavens and the earth. We believe that He has all wisdom, all knowledge, and all power. We believe that He rules over everything with His father and with the Holy Spirit. To us, Jesus was not just a man who lived in Israel 2000 years ago. He wasn’t just a great prophet. He wasn’t just a great leader among His people. But He is the leader of all people. He is the King of Kings, and Lord of Lords. The Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End.
The elements obey His commands. He has not only created this earth, but worlds without end. He is endless. He is the Eternal one. He is the great I AM. He is Jehovah. He is God.
He came to this earth not only to give us the new law, and not only to heal the sick, but to change our very hearts. He died for everyone who has ever lived on the face of the earth, not just those who have heard his message in this life. He broke the bands of death, He was sacrificed for our sins. He paid the price for all who would believe on His name, repent of their sins, be baptized by the proper authority, receive the Holy Ghost, and keep His commandments.
In addition to dieing for our sins, the Book of Mormon teaches that He died for our infirmities, our sicknesses, our guilt, and our sorrows. He died for our weaknesses. Some day, He will come again. He will answer every important question, He will wipe away every tear. He will subdue all enemies under his feet. The Holy Lamb of Bethlehem will come again has the Lion of Judah.
Jesus, really does love you. So much so that He gave up His life for you. He has the power to heal all of your wounds, and answer all the questions of your heart. The testimony of the Latter-day Saints is that He didn’t end His work 2000 years ago, but He has opened up a new dispensation in our time. Many important truths have been restored, new scripture has come forth, and a new understanding of our purpose on earth has been revealed. God is not dead, nor doth He sleep. Jesus is actively involved in spreading His kingdom across the earth and revealing His will to prophets and apostles today.
