Jesus and what he has done for Us

Jesus outside of Jerusalem with a view of the Temple

So what is the point of Chrstianity?  It is that there is eternal conequences for breaking God's commandments.  We ALL sin so we all have broken God's commandments.  So the consequence is that we don't get to return to live with our Heavenly Father . . . also known as God.  

EXCEPT that God provided his Only Begotten Son to be our Savior.  Jesus paid the eternal price for our sins so becasue of Him we CAN return to live with our Heavenly Father IF we repent and try to do better.  So we must believe in Jesus Christ as our Savior and our Advocate with the Father.  HE pleads our case and pionts out to His Father and our Heavenly Father that the eternal price for our sins is paid.  

Jesus also knows, because of His suffering, how we feel in our suffering.  Some of our suffering in mortality is because of our sins.  Some is because of sins of others.  And some is due to health or lonliness etc.  Jesus can comfort us no matter what our source of pain.  

Jesus suffered in Gethsemane and on the cross for our sins.  We all have the opportunity to repent if we will take it.  We all have the chance to try to live and keep the commandments as best as we can.  We should serve our fellowman and always be kind.  But when things go wrong we have our Savior to turn to.   

So don't dispair.  God loves you enough to send His Son to Earth for YOU.  

Why was the Temple important to Jesus?  Because it was His Father's House.  We members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints also believe in the Temple.  We believe that we can be sealed to our spouse and to our children for time and all eternity in God's Temple.  We believe that we can then live as families in God's Kingdom.  We have many Temples all over the world.

We also believe that God is fair so he has prepared a way to help His children who never had a good chance to hear the Gospel of Jesus Christ.  So those who died without knowing the Gospel get a chance to hear the Gospel in the next life. . . in the Spirit World.  Then mortals can be baptized as proxy for them and sealed for them in the Temple. 

To me, a sinner for sure, I am so grateful for the opportunity that Jesus gave me to repent of my sins.  And I am so happy that I am sealed to my wife.   I hope to live with my Family one day in God's Celestial Kingdom.  One day I hope to look into Jesus' eyes and thank Him for all He did for me. . . and for my family, and for all of Mandkind.
