In Him We Live -

-Shout for Joy Ye Sons of God
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 and of him, the worlds are and were created, and the
6

2

4

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

10

16

12

Father's plan for us that we should leave his presence for a season, to live in a
18

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

this great work. We lived with him in that premortal realm, as spirit children of our Heavenly Father. It was our
14

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
20
22 24

Savior, and the Creator of our world. And Jesus said, "We will go down...and we will make an earth whereon these may dwell;
28

26

And we will prove them herewith, to see if they will do
30

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."

about

50
The creation of the world set in motion the Father's great plan of salvation. We

were among the host of heaven who shouted for joy at its commencement, and then, at the appointed time,

10

was drawn across our memory, and we began our earthly lives as infants, pure and innocent.
"Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting. The soul that rises with us, our life's star, hath had elsewhere its setting,

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.
gently
each of us left our heavenly home to be born of mortal parents on this earth. A veil of forgetfulness
- Our Birth is but a Sleep

In response to these feelings, the poet Wordsworth wrote,
12

and not in utter nakedness, but trailing clouds of glory do we come from God who is our home. Heaven lies about us in our infancy!"

Narrator: From Adam's day forward, men and women of faith have trusted in the Savior for that redemption from sin and death

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

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

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

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

In the Silent Garden -

- Because He Lives
Narrator: How gratefully we testify that the creator of the world "was made flesh and dwelt among us"; that he, in his infinite love, suffered for the grief
about

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

12

18

10

for he is risen." And in our own time, a prophet declared:
14
"And now, after the many testimonies which have been given of him, this is the testimony, last of all,
16

of his resurrection many have testified, beginning with an angel

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

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

20

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.

22

24

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.
