Show a picture of the Savior.
Gordon B. Hinckley’s testimony of the Savior:
Maybe you could let a child read this:
(one you know will not joke around)
I believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, the
Son of the eternal, living God. I believe in Him as the Firstborn of the
Father and the Only Begotten of the
father in the flesh. I believe in Him
as an individual, separate and distinct from his father...
I believe that in His mortal life He was
the one perfect man to walk the earth. I believe that in his words are
to be found that light and truth which, if
observed, would save the world and bring
exaltation to mankind...
I believe that through His atoning sacrifice,
the offering of His life on Calgary's Hill, He expiated the sins of mankind,
relieving us from the burden
of sin if we follow Him. I believe in
the reality and the power of His resurrection...
None so great has ever walked the earth.
None other has made a comparable sacrifice or granted a comparable blessing.
He is the Savior and
the Redeemer of the world. I believe in
Him. I declare his divinity without equivocation or compromise. I love
Him. I speak His name in reverence
and wonder. I worship Him as I worship
his Father, in spirit and in truth. I thank Him and kneel before His wounded
feet and hands and side,
amazed at the love he offers me. (ENSIGN,
NOV. 1986, pp.50-51)
