Jesus visits the Animals in the Rocky Mountains

Jesus visits the Animals in the Rocky Mountains
(This is the only new drawing today.)

This is not an illustration from scripture.  I just thought it would be nice to draw Jesus visiting some of His animal creations on Earth.  We live in the Rocky Mountains so these are animals I am most familiar with.  I can imagine that Jesus just might visit His many creations.  In his live among us mortals He would visit and teach and touch people's lives... often one at a time.  Other times he spoke to large groups and taught them that way.  

We members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints belive that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.  He, Jesus, will one day return to Earth and those who died and were rightous, who have died, will be resurrected in perfect form.  The wicked will have to wait a thousand years to be resurrected.  We believe that resurrection is when our Spirit is reunited with our bodies, only our body will be in glorified immortal perfected form.  Those of us with many health problems look forwared to that day.  

IF you want to read more clear explanation of the principle of resurrection see The Book of Mormon, Another Witness for Christ and look in Alma chapter 11, verses 40-45 and all of Alma chapter 40.  We believe that Jesus losed the bands of death so all will one day be resurrected.  Then we go to our final destination of one of the Eternal Kindoms of Glory or Outer Darkness for the very very wicked.  

When we die we go immediately to the Spirit World and rest from our cares, but those who have had the priviledge of learning the Gospel of Jesus Christ while on Earth will be busy teaching other Spirits about the Gospel so they can have an opportunity to accept it.  

Artist's Note:  This is a rather simple drawing, one I did at church on Sunday last.  But  the thought of Jesus visiting His animals warmed my heart.  We humans are His greatest and most important creation, but I am sure He loves animals.  After all the Bible says that not a sparrow falls without Him knowing about it.  Jesus used animal examples a lot in his teachings.  Jesus is drawn with the prints of the nails in His hands and feet.  He must keep those to show us that He is our Saviour.  We will be resurrected without our scars etc.
