Jesus Christ

Drawings of Jesus Christ  are found below the written message. 

Jesus Christ is our Savior.  In fact he is my personal Savior.  This is how it works.  We all fall short of the Glory of God.   In other words, we all commit sins.  The only person to never commit sin was Jesis.  In our premortal life we watched as Jesus volunteere to be our Savior.  Let me explain a little more clearly. . . 

When we sin we have incurred an eternal punishment.  We can never return to live with our Heavenly Parents.  This eternal punishment is something we can do nothing about.  If we pay the price for our sins via suffering somehow that is not enough . . .  or maybe going through the punishment changes us. . . I don't know.  

But our Father in Heaven knew we would sin.  He knew we would mess up.  He is the Father of our Spirits.  We lived with Him and our Heavenly Mother in the Premortal Life billions of years ago.  Heavenly Father asked for a volunteer to pay the eternal price for our sins.  Jesus Christ, our elder brother volunteered.  He made it possible for us to go through the process of repentance so that we can be forgiven and return to our Heavenly Parents one day.  

Jesus, under the direction of Heavenly Father, as a Spirit and as a God, created this planet and probably millions more.  When we are born our Spirit body goes into our little baby mortal body.  My mom used to say that it must be a challenge to get our full grown Spirit body into that little tiny baby mortal body.   

One more thing.   Jesus suffered so much in the Garden of Gethsemane and on the cross that He knows how we feel when we suffer.  He knows how we feel from suffering caused by our own sins and how we feel when we are suffering and it is not our own fault.  In fact it has been suggested that on the cross and in Gethsemane that Jesus felt all the pain and sorrow that every person on Earth and that ever did or will live on Earth ever did or will feel.  So He knows how to succor or comfort us in our trials.   

When we die our Spirit leaves our body.  Our Spirit goes into the Spirit World, which is located here on Earth in a different dimension.  If we took advantage of the opportunity to repent then we go to Paradise and thoses who are wicked and never repented go to what is called Spirit Prison.  In Spirit Prison the Spirits pay the price for their sins.  They suffer terribly.  In Paradise the righteous Spirits go on missions to teach the other Spirits about the Plan of Salvation.  

Of course when Jesus died on the cross His Spirit went to the Spirit World and he started this preaching of the Gospel to the Spirits in the Spirit World.  Jesus also was resurrected in three days after his execution.  He made it possible for all of us to be resurrected one day.  If we do our best to keep His commandments, and we repent when we don't. . ..ad we receive the ordinances of Salvation such as baptism. . . our Temple endowment. . . and Eternal Marriage. . .  then one day we can return to live with our Heavenly Parents (along with our spouse and family) for all eternity.  So people who never had a chance to marry in this life. . . or people who never heard the Gospel of Jesus Christ in this life. . . will have those chances offered to them in the Eternities.  God is VERY fair.  The Eternities is the great equalizer.  But as mortals we tend to not think about the Eternities.  But we should because this life is only a short part of our existence.  We lived as our Heavenly Parents Spirit Children for eons. . . and we will live for eternity after this life.   

These are three rather recent . . . and not previously posted drawings I did of our Savior.  I draw pictures of Him while at church.  It keeps my ADHD mind focused so that I can pay attention to the talks.  The drawings after these first three drawings are from previous posts.   I picture Jesus as having larger than average kind eyes.   .    . but when He must his eyes can be intimidating.  He is the Creator of the Earth, and a God, after all.  The printable versions of these drawings are found by clicking on the buttons up top that are labeled. . . . Religious. . . . or . . . . All Printables.
I am working on how to draw eyes better.  So these first three drawings are my attempts at drawing eyes better.   I'm not sure how well I did.  Look at the earlier ones down below.   Maybe I'm trying too hard.

scars to remind us of who He is and what He did for us.)
