I recently read an article from the September 2010 Ensign called "Bringing Christ
into Our Home." In the article, Cynthia Green describes how she and her family
(including kids from ages 4-11) made it a family project to memorize "The Living
Christ" together.
As the family worked, over a period of four months, to accomplish this great task,
they saw many blessings come to them for their effort. Cynthia writes, "Family
prayers became more meaningful because the children gave more thought to
Him in whose name they were praying. The Spirit filled our home. We felt like
Nephi when he wrote, 'We talk of Christ, we rejoice in Christ, we preach of
Christ' (2 Nephi 25:26). Our home became a place of greater peace."
Wow! I began to wonder if my family could do it, too. So, we talked about it in
Family Home Evening and decided to set a goal to memorize "The Living Christ"
together as a family in the twelve weeks before Christmas. During the next few
weeks of memorization, we had many great experiences as the kids learned and
repeated the testimony of the apostles and prophet about Jesus Christ. It wasnt
easy to memorize The Living Christ, but it was
very rewarding for the whole family.

check it off on the chart.
Tips for success: Tips for success: Tips for success: Tips for success: The most important thing is to believe that
YOU can do it! Even young children can memorize; it just
takes effort. The key to success is repetition. Try to recite
what you are learning as often as possible. Spend time
several times a day saying aloud the sections that you know
well and reading over new sections. Make the content of
The Living Christ the topic for Family Home Evenings. In
Family Scripture Study, choose a section and look up
scriptures that go along with it. Talk about the meaning of
difficult words like entreat and spurious so that your
children understand the meaning of what they are learning.
In the Ensign article, Cynthia wrote of her family's experience, "Our family
finished memorizing 'The Living Christ.' It was the greatest four-month
experience we have ever had. Even though the project is over, I know the effects
of what we learned can remain with each family member for the rest of our
lives."
I hope that your family has a similar experience memorizing the words of the
prophet and apostles as they testify of Christ. What could be better than that?

1 As we commemorate the birth of Jesus Christ two millennia 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 and will yet live upon the earth.
2 He was the Great Jehovah of the Old Testament, the Messiah of the New. Under the direction of His Father,
He was the creator of the earth. 'All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that
was made' (John 1:3)."
3 "Though sinless, He was baptized to fulfill all righteousness. He 'went about doing good' (Acts 10:38), yet was
despised for it. His gospel was a message of peace and goodwill. He entreated all to follow His example."
4 "He walked the roads of Palestine, healing the sick, causing the blind to see, and raising the dead. 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. He instituted the sacrament as a reminder of His great
atoning sacrifice."
5 "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."
6 "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 Redeemer of
the world. He rose from the grave to 'become the firstfruits of them that slept' (1 Corinthians 15:20). As Risen
Lord, He visited among those He had loved in life.
7
He also ministered among His 'other sheep' (John 10:16) in ancient America. In the modern world, He and His
Father appeared to the boy Joseph Smith, ushering in the long-promised 'dispensation of the fulness of
times' (Ephesians 1:10). Of the Living Christ, the Prophet Joseph wrote: "His eyes were as a flame of fire; the
hair of his head was white like the pure snow; his countenance shone above the brightness of the sun; and his
voice was as the sound of the rushing of great waters, even the voice of Jehovah, saying: 'I am the first and the
last; I am he who liveth, I am he who was slain; I am your advocate with the Father' (D&C 110:34)."
8
"Of Him the Prophet also 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 God;
and we heard the voice bearing record that he is the Only Begotten of the Father. That by him, and through
him, and of him, the worlds are and were created, and the inhabitants thereof are begotten sons and
daughters unto God' (D&C 76:2224)."
9 "We declare in words of solemnity that His priesthood and His Church have been restored upon the earth
'built upon the foundation of . . . apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner
stone' (Ephesians 2:20). We testify that He will someday return to earth. 'And the glory of the Lord shall be
revealed, and all flesh shall see it together' (Isaiah 40:5)."
10 "He will rule as King of Kings and reign as Lord of Lords, and every knee shall bend and every tongue shall speak
in worship before Him. Each of us will stand to be judged of Him according to our works and the desires of our
hearts. We bear testimony, as His duly ordained Apostlesthat Jesus is the Living Christ, the immortal Son of
God.
11 "He is the great King Immanuel, who stands today on the right hand of His Father. He is the light, the life, and
the hope of the world. His way is the path that leads to happiness in this life and eternal life in the world to
come. God be thanked for the matchless gift of His divine Son."

1
As we commemorate the birth of
Jesus Christ two millennia ago
2
we offer our testimony of the
reality of His matchless life
Our testimony
is of His
matchless life...
3
and the infinite virtue of His
great atoning sacrifice.
4
None other has
had so
profound an
influence upon
all who have
lived and will
yet live upon
the earth.
5
He was the Great Jehovah of the Old
Testament, the Messiah of the New.
6
Under the direction of His Father,
He was the creator of the earth.
7
All things were made by him...
8
...and without
him was not
any thing made
that was
made (John 1:3).
9
Though sinless, He was baptized to
fulfill all righteousness.
10
He went
about doing
good (Acts 10:38),
yet was
despised for it.
11
His gospel was a message of peace
and goodwill.
12
He entreated all to follow His
example.
13
He walked
the roads of
Palestine,
healing the
sick, causing
the blind to
see, and
raising the
dead.
14
He taught the truths of eternity, the
reality of our premortal existence...
15
...the purpose of our life on earth,
and the potential for the sons and
daughters of God in the life to come. 16
He instituted the sacrament as a
reminder of His great atoning
sacrifice.
17
He was
arrested and
condemned
on spurious
charges,
convicted to
satisfy a
mob
18
..and sentenced to die on Calvary's
cross.
19
He gave His life
to atone for
the sins of all
mankind.
20
His was a great vicarious gift in
behalf of all who would ever live
upon the earth.
21
We solemnly testify that His life,
which is central to all human
history, neither began in
Bethlehem nor concluded on
Calvary. 22
He was the Firstborn of the Father,
the Only Begotten Son in the flesh,
the Redeemer of the world. 23
He rose from the grave to "become
the firstfruits of them that slept" (1 Corinthians 15:20).
24
As Risen Lord, He visited among
those He had loved in life.
25
He also ministered among His
other sheep
in ancient
America. (John 10:16)
26
In the modern world, He and His
Father appeared to the boy Joseph
Smith, ushering in the long-
promised dispensation of the
fulness of times (Eph. 1:10). 27
Of the Living Christ, the Prophet
Joseph wrote: His eyes were as a
flame of fire; the hair of his head was
white like the pure snow; his
countenance shone above the
brightness of the sun; and his voice
was as the sound of the rushing of
great waters
28
even the voice of
Jehovah, saying: I
am the first and the
last; I am he who
liveth, I am he who
was slain; I am your
advocate with the
Father (D&C 110:34).
29
Of Him the Prophet also
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!
30
For we saw him,
even on the right
hand of God; and
we heard the
voice bearing
record that he is
the Only Begotten
of the Father.
31
That by him, and through him,
and of him, the worlds are and
were created
32
...and the inhabitants thereof are
begotten sons and daughters unto
God (D&C 76:2224).
33
We declare in words of solemnity
that His priesthood and His Church
have been restored upon the earth 34
...built upon the foundation of apostles
and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being
the chief corner stone (Ephesians 2:20). 35
We testify that
He will someday
return to earth.
36
And the glory of the Lord shall be
revealed, and all flesh shall see it
together (Isaiah 40:5).
37
He will rule as King of Kings and
reign as Lord of Lords...
38
...and every knee shall bend and
every tongue shall speak in
worship before Him. 39
Each of us will stand to be judged
of Him according to our works and
the desires of our hearts. 40
We bear
testimony, as His
duly ordained
Apostlesthat
Jesus is the Living
Christ, the
immortal Son of
God.
41
He is the great King Immanuel, who
stands today on the right hand of
His Father. 42
He is the light, the life, and the
hope of the world.
43
His way is the path that leads to
happiness in this life and eternal
life in the world to come. 44
God be thanked for the matchless
gift of His divine Son.
45
The The The The Living Living Living Living ChristChristChristChrist As we commemorate the birth of Jesus Christ two millennia 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 and 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 was the creator of the earth. "All things were made
by him; and without him was not any thing made that
was made" (John 1:3). Though sinless, He was
baptized to fulfill all righteousness. He "went about
doing good" (Acts 10:38), yet was despised for it. His
gospel was a message of peace and goodwill. He
entreated all to follow His example. He walked the
roads of Palestine, healing the sick, causing the blind
to see, and raising the dead. 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.
46
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.
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 Redeemer of the world.
He rose from the grave to "become the
firstfruits of them that slept" (1 Corinthians
15:20). As Risen Lord, He visited among those
He had loved in life. He also ministered
among His "other sheep" (John 10:16) in
ancient America. In the modern world, He
and His Father appeared to the boy Joseph
Smith, ushering in the long-promised
"dispensation of the fulness of
47
Of the Living Christ, the Prophet Joseph wrote: "His eyes were as a flame of
fire; the hair of his head was white like the pure snow; his countenance shone
above the brightness of the sun; and his voice was as the sound of the rushing
of great waters, even the voice of Jehovah, saying:
"I am the first and the last; I am he
who liveth, I am he who was slain;
I am your advocate with the
Father" (D&C 110:34).
Of Him the Prophet also 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 God; and we heard the voice
bearing record that he is the Only Begotten of the Father "That by him, and
through him, and of him, the worlds are and were created, and the inhabitants
thereof are begotten sons and daughters unto God" (D&C 76:2224).
48
We declare in words of solemnity that His priesthood and His Church have
been restored upon the earth"built upon the foundation of . . . apostles and
prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone" (Ephesians 2:20).
We testify that He will someday return to earth. "And the glory of the Lord
shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together" (Isaiah 40:5). He will rule
as King of Kings and reign as Lord of Lords, and every knee shall bend and
every tongue shall speak in worship before Him. Each of us will stand to be
judged of Him according to our works and the desires of our hearts.
We bear testimony, as His duly ordained Apostlesthat Jesus is the Living
Christ, the immortal Son of God. He is the great King Immanuel, who stands
today on the right hand of His Father. He is the light, the life, and the hope of
the world. His way is the path that leads to happiness in this life and eternal life
in the world to come. God be thanked for the matchless gift of His divine Son.
