“With all my heart and the fervency of my soul, I lift up my voice in testimony as a special witness and declare that God does live. Jesus is His Son, the Only Begotten of the Father in the flesh. He is our Redeemer; He is our Mediator with the Father. He it was who died on the cross to atone for our sins. He became the firstfruits of the Resurrection. Because He died, all shall live again. ‘Oh, sweet the joy this sentence gives: “I know that my Redeemer lives!” ’ May the whole world know it and live by that knowledge, I humbly pray, in the name of Jesus Christ, the Lord and Savior, amen.” (President Thomas S. Monson, President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints)
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (informally known as the Mormons) has just launched a great new web site Jesus Christ, The Son of God. This beautiful new site focuses on the teachings of our Savior and his Atonement. The primary message of this new site is clear – Come unto Christ.
During His mortal ministry, Jesus taught the principles of salvation. He atoned for our sins. He showed us how to live a life that would merit the gift of eternal life. And when He died, He rose again—so that all of us could live again. (His Life and Teachings)
The web site offers exciting features including the option to read and listen to teachings about the Savior. One of my favorite features is the Multimedia section. This section contains two films, “Faith in Christ,” and “The Restoration.” It also includes the 2007 First Presidency Christmas Devotional.
Back in April 2000, the First Presidency and the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles released a special video presentation to commemorate the birth of Christ. It was called “Special Witnesses of Christ.” The video featured the late President Gordon B. Hinckley, President Thomas S. Monson, the late President James E. Faust, and several members of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles bearing testimonies of the divinity and ministry of our Lord, Jesus Christ. A portion of that video presentation has been made available on this new site. To hear these powerful testimonies, click on Special Witnesses of Christ.
If you are interested, the text of the original video presentation, Special Witnesses of Christ, is also available in the April 2001 Ensign, a monthly magazine of the Church.
He Lives: The Witness of Latter-day Prophets contains the testimonies of all modern day Mormon prophets starting with Joseph Smith. The prophets testify about their love of the Savior, their complete faith and belief in Him, and that we follow and worship Him. He is at the head of His Restored Church, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
I love Him. I speak the name of Jesus Christ in reverence and wonder. He is our King, our Lord, our Master, the living Christ, who stands on the right hand of His Father. He lives! He lives, resplendent and wonderful, the living Son of the living God. (President Gordon B. Hinckley (1910-2008)
