Today and tomorrow are General Conference
for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.
There are many coloring pages in the "Religious" section of this blog...
if you are a member of that church and want to print drawings for your kids to color.
Jesus says to His Father, "Thy will be done."
(New drawing today)
While watching the first session of General Conference I was inspired to draw a picture of our Savior at Gethsemane. There were talks about the absolute importance of the Atonement of Christ. I was touched. In one talk a modern apostle said that we celebrate the religious side of Christmas but often forget to celebrate the religious side of Easter. And Easter should be the celebration of the Atonement and Resurrection of Jesus Christ. And those were the most important events in the history of our world!
This is a drawing of when Jesus was in the Garden of Gethsemane and first asked that the bitter cup be taken away. But this drawing shows the moment He told His Father, "Thy will be done." Then Jesus began to take upon Himself the eternal punishment for all of our sins. That was so difficult that even He, the Son of God, bled blood from every pore. That pain returned when He suffered on the Cross.
It is important to remember that Jesus did not die because he was a victim of cruelty from his own leaders' jealousy. Nor did he die as a powerless victim of Roman cruelty. Jesus had the power to stop what was happening at any time. He WILLINGLY suffered and died for us. Then in three days, He was resurrected.
That means we all will also be resurrected. The level of glory of our resurrected and perfected body will depend upon our life here on Earth. Good people ...(including all people who repent... and that is all of us who believe) will clearly have more glorious bodies for eternity. Evil people will be far more limited by their eternal bodies. They were not willing to receive a higher degree of glory. Good people will be far more blessed in the eternities.
Those who have repented of their sins, strived to keep God's commandments, received the ordinances of Exaltation (baptism, Temple endowment, eternal marriage) and kept their covenants and served God by serving others will be able to dwell in the Celestial Kingdom with our Heavenly Parents and our Elder Spirit Brother, Jesus Christ.
I want to add one more thing... the source of light in this drawing is the face of our Saviour.
NOTE: This drawing, in printable form, is found by clicking on the bottom labeled "Religious."
