This book is the Latter-day Saint version of Ode to Jesus, the easiest way for you to learn the Scripture's real teachings about Jesus Christ. In mere seconds, you will know what it says about the most influential person in history. It does this by using hymns that benchmark true biblical doctrines in an easily remembered and understood way. For instance:
God made the universe through Christ.
Sire ordered; Son obeyed!
This reality came to be -
Father designed; Son made!
Just like that, you now know a critical biblical teaching: God the Father had his Son, Jesus Christ, create this massive universe. Here is another:
He humbled himself to be born.
The great God became man!
He emptied himself of glory.
From divine to mere man!
You now possess true biblical knowledge that makes it impossible for someone to deceive you. What you do with the knowledge is up to you. You can use it to believe the Bible's message and live a life of meaning and joy by becoming a person who loves God, loves your neighbor, loves yourself, and keeps God's commandments. Alternatively, you can restrict it to the intellectual satisfaction realm. But regardless of your choice, at least now, no one can fool you about what the Bible actually says about Jesus Christ.
This book partners passages from the Latter-day Scriptures (the Book of Mormon, the Doctrine and Covenants, and the Pearl of Great Price) with the Holy Bible to show they teach the same doctrines. This version also explains why both the Holy Bible and the Book of Mormon have subjective and objective pieces of evidence supporting the belief that God inspired them.
You owe it to yourself to know more about Jesus Christ. Even if you do not believe he is your Savior, he has improved your life in ways you cannot imagine. History has always been brutal and violent because our innate human nature values insiders more than outsiders (because you are human, you will always save the life of your young child over a stranger's). However, when Christians started applying Christ's moral teachings (empathetic morality, human dignity, and human equality) to national laws, they discovered something the world had never seen before: Natural Rights.
Natural rights, such as your right to life, liberty, physical security, equality, and freedom of religion, are your most important rights. You have them just for being human. No government gave them to you; good governments recognize that you have them and respect them. They make you and your worst enemy equal. They make the weakest outsider equal to the most powerful insider. However, natural rights cannot exist without standing on Christ's moral teaching because nothing objective supports them. Remove the foundation, and the concept collapses, standards become arbitrary, and laws become changeable on the whim of whoever is in charge. Tyranny returns, resulting in calamity for the rest of us.
Applying Christ's words also resulted in the modern Western world and its products. There is little doubt that the contemporary STEM world could have never existed without the Christian milieu's influence.
Most importantly of all, Jesus gave us the answer to living a life of meaning and happiness, regardless of the evil we experience:
- LOVE GOD
- LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR
- LOVE YOURSELF
- KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS
What explains Jesus Christ and his outsized positive influence on humanity? Is he our God who became human flesh who then suffered and died for us? Or was he just a deluded preacher who got lucky?
