How's everyone coming with memorizing???? Try to memorize AT LEAST the 1st paragraph. You will be SO glad you did! Here's the 7th paragraph and then the other six!!
7th
We solemnly testify that His life, which is central to all human history, neither began in Bethlehem nor concluded on Calvary. He was the Firstborn of the Father, the Only Begotten Son in the flesh, the Redeem of the world.
========
1st
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.
2nd
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.
3rd
Though sinless, He was baptized to fulfill all righteousness. He went about doing good, yet was despised for it.
4th
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.
5th
He taught the truths of eternity, the reality of our premortal existence, the purpose of our life on earth, and the potential for the sons and daughters of God in the life to come.
6th
He instituted the sacrament as a reminder of His great atoning sacrifice.
He was arrested and condemned on spurious charges, convicted to satisfy a mob, and sentenced to die on Calvary's cross.
He gave His life to atone for the sins of all mankind. His was a great vicarious gift in behalf of all who would ever live upon the earth.
