THE LIVING CHRIST - Paragraph 4

As we commemorate the birth of Jesus Christ two millenia ago, we offer our testimony of the reality of His matchless life, and the infinite virtue of His great atoning sacrifice.  None other has had so profound an influence upon all who have lived, or who will yet live upon the earth.

He was the Great Jehovah of the Old Testament; the Messiah of the New.  Under the direction of His Father he created the Earth.  All things were made by Him, and without Him was not anything made that was made.

Though sinless, He was baptized to fulfill all righteousness.  He went about doing good, yet was despised for it.

His gospel was a message of peace and goodwill.  He entreated all to follow His example.  He walked the streets of Palestine, healing the sick, causing the blind to see, and raising the dead.
