Hello, my friends, it's a new day with new opportunities. Choose ye this day whom ye will serve. I am Sabrina and this is my first podcast episode.
Today, for our verse of the day, we will be reading all of "The Living Christ". 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 lived and will yet live upon the earth.
He was the great Jehovah of the Old Testament, the Messiah of the New. Under the direction of his Father, he was the creator of the earth. All things were made by him, and without him was not anything made that was made.
Though sinless, he was baptized to fulfill all righteousness. He went about doing good, yet was despised for it. His gospel was.
He was the leader of the Jews 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. 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. He 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. The prophet said, 'I am the first and the last; I am he who liveth; I am he who is slain; I am your advocate with the Father.' Of him the prophet also declared, 'And now, after the many testimonies which have been given of him, this is the testimony, last of all, which we give of him: That he lives.' For we saw him, even on the right hand of God, and we heard the voice bearing record that he is the Only Begotten of the Father. 'The glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together.' He will rule as King of kings and reign as Lord of lords, and every knee shall bend and every tongue shall speak in worship before him. Each of us will stand to be judged of him according to our works and the desires of our hearts.
We bear testimony as duly ordained Apostles that Jesus is the Living Christ, the immortal Son of God. He is the great King Emmanuel who stands today on the right hand of his Father. He is the light, the life, and the hope of the world.
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. That's all for today, my friends.
You and I have come here for such a time as this. Step forward in faith, and let's be Savory Salt. We'll be here tomorrow. We hope you
