In Him We Live -

Narrator: In him we live: in Jesus Christ, our Savior, who is the light and the life of the world, for "by him, and through him

-Shout for Joy Ye Sons of God

and of him, the worlds are and were created, and the

8 10 12

inhabitants thereof are begotten sons and daughters unto God." It is his work and his glory to bring to pass our immortality

and eternal life. Even before the foundation of the world, Jesus began

14

16 18

this great work. We lived with him in that premortal realm, as spirit children of our Heavenly Father. It was our

Father's plan for us that we should leave his presence for a season, to live in a

20

22 24

mortal world, to gain bodies of flesh made in his image, and to learn by our own experience to choose right from wrong.

He appointed his Son to carry out this plan, to be our

26

28 30

Savior, and the Creator of our world. And Jesus said, "We will go down...and we will make an earth whereon these may dwell;

And we will prove them herewith, to see if they will do

32

34

36

all things whatsoever the Lord their God shall command them." And so it was that, in the beginning, God, through his Son Jesus

Christ, created for us the heaven and the earth. And in response, "the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God

shouted for joy."

each of us left our heavenly home to be born of mortal parents on this earth. A veil of forgetfulness

was drawn across our memory, and we began our earthly lives as infants, pure and innocent.

Little wonder that we feel a sense of awe and reverence as we hold a newborn child, so lately come from the presence of God.

In response to these feelings, the poet Wordsworth wrote,

Our Birth is but a Sleep -

Narrator: Though we are born in innocence, we soon learn to choose for ourselves and to follow our own will.

- Come and Save Me

The Spirit of Christ, given to every man at birth,

6

8

teaches us good from evil. It speaks to our hearts, touches our conscience, and prompts within us a yearning

for the heavenly realm we once knew. It invites us to

10

12

60look beyond this mortal sphere for meaning and guidance. But despite these promptings, we inevitably stray from the path of righteousness, setting our own will above God's will.

14 16

In our pride, our ignorance, our foolishness, we violate his laws and thereby cut ourselves off from him. "All we like sheep

3

have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way..."

18

20

As we become aware of our lost and fallen condition, we realize anew our dependence upon Christ,

the Shepherd of our souls, who alone can save us and return us to his fold.

to us before the world began. Prophets throughout the ages looked with hope toward a time when a virgin would concieve,

A time when "God himself should come down among the children of men, and take upon him the form of man,

and go forth in mighty power upon the face of the earth."

12

Two thousand years ago, the people of Bethlehem also waited for their Savior to come, watching for him to appear among men as

a mighty king, in majesty and glory.

And so it was, that as Mary brought forth her firstborn son and laid him in a manger, they were unaware

that the greatest story in the history of the world was unfolding in their very midst.

and sin of every man and woman born into mortality; that he arose from the grave and lives today. Of the reality

of his resurrection many have testified, beginning with an angel

who announced to the grieving disciples: "Fear not, for I know that ye seek Jesus which was crucified. He is not here;

for he is risen." And in our own time, a prophet declared:

"And now, after the many testimonies which have been given of him, this is the testimony, last of all,

which we give of him: That he lives! For we saw him, even on the right hand of

22

24

God..." Because he lives, we have the promise that we, too, will be freed from the grave by his power, for by his own

victory over death, Jesus conquered death for all mankind.

26

In this assurance, we gain strength to meet the challenges of our lives, we find comfort in our times of sorrow,

and we live in hope of eternal life, because Jesus lives.
