Lesson Review:"Christ the Redeemer"
Confernce talk given by Carlos H. Armado - April 2014Doctrine:
Christ was the first to be resurrected and never die again, to possess forever a perfect, eternal body. In His resurrected state, He appeared to Mary, who as soon as she recognized Him, began to worship Him. Our Redeemer, with great tenderness, warned her concerning His new and glorious condition: “Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father” (John 20:17)—providing an additional witness that His ministry in the spirit world was real and complete. Then, using language that confirmed the reality of His Resurrection, He said, “I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God” (John 20:17). After going to His Father, He returned again and appeared to His Apostles. “He shewed unto them his hands and his side. Then were the disciples glad, when they saw the Lord” (John 20:20).
Invitation to Action:
In the most sublime show of His love for humankind, and in the
full exercise of His will, He walked bravely and determinedly to face
His most demanding trial. In the Garden of Gethsemane, in utter
loneliness, He suffered the most intense agony, bleeding from each pore.
In total submission before His Father, He atoned for our sins and also
took upon Him our illnesses and afflictions in order to know how to
succor us (see Alma 7:11–13).
He gave us the greatest gift of his life and atonement. Do you realize how much our Savior must have loved you as an individual? Do you know the meaning of his infinite atonement in your life?
"I testify that Christ will return in a way very different from His first coming. He will come in power and glory with all the just and faithful Saints. He will come as King of kings and Lord of lords, as the Prince of Peace, the promised Messiah, the Savior and Redeemer, to judge the living and the dead. I love and serve Him with all my heart, and I plead that we may serve with joy and dedication and that we may remain faithful to Him until the end.

It isn’t as bad as you sometimes think it is.
It all works out. Don’t worry.
I say that to myself every morning.
It will all work out.
Put your trust in God,
and move forward with faith
and confidence in the future.
The Lord will not forsake us.
He will not forsake us.
If we will put our trust in Him,
if we will pray to Him,
if we will live worthy of His blessings,
He will hear our prayers.
