Why did Jesus, the Lord God omnipotent, creator of worlds without number, lawgiver and judge, condescend to come to Earth to be born in a manger and live out most of his mortal existence in obscurity?
"It was love for all of God's children that led Jesus, unique in his sinless perfection, to offer himself as ransom for the sins of others."
The symbol of his triumph over death is the empty tomb, yet he came not only to bring immortality, but eternal life.
"Jesus came to Earth, first and foremost, as the atoning Savior who died that all might find peace in this world and eternal life in the world to come."
We show our devotion to Christ and best express our discipleship by the way in which we live and serve him.
"To take his name upon us means a willingness to do whatever he requires of us. Someone has said that the price of a Christian life is the same today as always: It is simply to give all that we have, holding back nothing, to give away all our sins to know him."
In the arithmetic of heaven: quality, not quantity counts.
"We proclaim that truth of truths in boldness to all the world. I testify to you that he will return again, soon, as King of Kings and Lord of Lords, with healing in his wings, to set his people free."
