This is my Beloved Son

This is My Beloved Son: The Father’s proclamation to the world of the divinity of Christ as the Son of the Almighty Elohim.

One cannot fully comprehend the reality of Jesus Christ as the divine son of God without coming to the knowledge of his relationship with the Father.

Prophets of old had testified tremendously of the coming of a messiah, Jehova God of the old testament. He was the first born spirit son of the Father in the Pre-Mortal life and grew in grace and power until he was as one "like unto God" (Abraham 3:24).There  in those realms a Savior was chosen. The also occurred  what the scriptures call the  war in  heaven in which God uttered these powerful words "But, behold, my Beloved Son, which was my Beloved and Chosen from the beginning, said unto me—Father, thy will be done, and the glory be thine forever.  First Glory be unto the father sacrifice for all manking. We learn from holy writ the Bible that Jesus would perform the infinite atonement for the redemtion of the world.

Christ’s birth into this mortal life has been a topic of debate because of the irregularity of His conception. Matthew explains the nature of Joseph and Mary prior to the birth of Jesus". Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph" (Matthew 1:14). Mary and Joseph at this point were unmarried but were promised to each other. Joseph was not the father and, upon knowing of Mary's prospective maternity, chose to take Mary and the child as his. Jesus’s parentage is of a Godly Father from whom He attained the ability to live eternally, and of a mortal mother, whose gift of blood running in His veins gave him the power to die. In His words recorded by (John 10:17-18), Jesus said "Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again. No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father".
He's absolute obedience to the Father increased as Jesus grew older. Jesus was perfectly obedient and, because he was received all power, both in Heaven and on earth. All this came precept upon precept, line upon line until He received a  fulness of the glory of the Father. His works pleased the Father who utters these words at the Baptism of Jesus "And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased." (Matthew 3:17)


At the mount of transfiguration, the voice of the Father with heavenly messengers was heard, saying, “This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well please; hear ye him" (Matthew 17:5).

The Nephites, a people who had lived in the western world, heard a voice the voice proclaimend "Behold, I am Jesus Christ the Son of God. I created the heavens and the earth, and all things that in them are. I was with the Father from the beginning. I am in the Father, and the Father in me; and in me hath the Father glorified.I came unto my own, and my own received me not. And the scriptures concerning my coming are fulfilled" (3 Nephi 9:15)

Later again the Father utters. " Behold my Beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased, in whom I have glorified my name—hear ye him." (3 Nephi 11:7)
During the great revival period when many where searching for gospel truths.Joseph Smith was a boy of 14 of age who had a great interest on the welfare of his wanted to know of all the sects at the time which one contained the Gospel in its purety. After much reading he found scripture in James 1verse 5. That scripture led to him seeking out to go and ask God in prayer. In that setting of a groove of trees Joseph received a vision of God the Father and Jesus Christ. Joseph Smith recorded in his on words said, "When the light rested upon me I saw two Personages, whose brightness and glory defy all description, standing above me in the air. One of them spake unto me, calling me by name and said, pointing to the other—This is My Beloved Son. Hear Him!". ( Joseph Smith History)

God has thus shown to us the divinity, power and authority of Jesus Christ. Nephi wrote of the attitude of the  people both in His and our time " And the world, because of their iniquity, shall judge him to be a thing of naught; wherefore they scourge him, and he suffereth it; and they smite him, and he suffereth it. Yea, they spit upon him, and he suffereth it, because of his loving kindness and his long-suffering towards the children of men". (2 Nephi 19:9).

Regardless of how motals view him, however there is no other name given under heaven whereby we can be saved. If all the prophets testified of him then how could he, as some aver merely be one of them. Worse consider him a great moral teacher or humanitarian. Certainly neither moral teacher or prophet could break the bands of death as Jesus did and then take the sins of another and then  satisfy the demands of justice. No wonder the Book of Mormon's purpose to us is to testify that Jesus is The Christ.I know God loved and, will continue to love His children. He speaks to us, He's concerned about us. He's shown how much love he has for us by sending Jesus Christ to atone for us. I know Jesus is a ressurected being, He lives is say these things in the name of Jesus Christ, amen.
