Jesus greets a Songbird

Jesus with a Songbird

Jesus is the Creator of the Earth.  We members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints believe that Jesus created the Earth under the direction of His and our Father in Heaven.  We believe that Jesus was the Only Begotten Son of The Father.  .   .  Our Father in Heaven is the Father of our Spirits.   

Before we came to Earth we lived with our Heavenly Parents and our elder brother, Jesus Christ in our Premortal Life.  We learned and grew until it was our turn to come to Earth.  When we come to Earth our spirit goes into our mortal body.  We have a veil of forgetfulness placed over our minds so we don't remember what happened in our Premortal Life.  On Earth we are tried and tested to see if we will develop faith in our Savior Jesus Christ and Father in Heaven, AND to see if we will Keep God's commandments.    Of course we all fail at being perfect, except for Jesus.  So Jesus came to Earth and paid the price for our sins so that we can repent and return to live with Him and our Heavenly Parents one day.  

I imagined that Jesus would have had a special relationship with animals during His mortal life.  I can imagine a bird flying right up to Him and landing on His hand.
