Jesus Christ and the Everlasting GospelJesus Christ was the Jehovah of the Old

Testament

In testifying of the Savior Jesus Christ, modern prophets have

declared: “He was the Great Jehovah of the Old Testament” (“The Living

Christ: The Testimony of the Apostles,” Ensign or Liahona, Apr.

2000, 2).

Jesus Christ, as Jehovah, established Heavenly Father's everlasting gospel on the earth in every dispensation of time in order to gather in every one of

God's children who were lost. Our faith in Jesus Christ can be strengthened as we come to

recognize His unchanging nature and His everlasting gospel.

“All Things Bear Witness”

• 2 Nephi 11:4• Moses 6:63• Alma 34:14• He was born in Bethlehem: house of bread• Born the Lamb of God, he was later the Good

Shepherd• His birth was identified by a “bright and

morning star” pointing to his role as the “light of the World”

• Living Water, Bread of Life, etc. etc. etc.• Given all of this, how did they miss him?

2. Matthew 16:24-26 with JST

1 The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the

meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the

prison to them that are bound;2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;

Isaiah 61

18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the

19 To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.

and Symbols of Jesus

Christ

Modern prophets have declared that Jesus Christ “instituted the sacrament as a

reminder of His great atoning sacrifice” (“The

Living Christ: The Testimony of the Apostles,” Ensign or Liahona, Apr. 2000, 2). In addition to the ordinance of the

sacrament, the scriptures tell us of many events, circumstances, objects, and people

that were intended to remind us of and instruct us regarding the mission and

ministry of Jesus Christ.
