Understanding Jesus Christ
About
This page will serve as a hub for a project that I'm working on. What is the project, you may ask?
The President of the Church of Jesus-Christ of Latter-day Saints, Russell M. Nelson, issued a challenge to members of the Church to learn absolutely everything we can about Jesus Christ: his life, his ministry, his necessity to our faith, and so on. By doing so we will have an understanding of His role in our lives that is a league above what we currently have, and we will be deeper in our conversion to the Gospel.
So, in much the same fashion as the Prophet has done, I will be going through every mention of Jesus Christ in the various volumes of scripture (Bible, Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants, Pearl of Great Price) and documenting my findings here.
