The Restoration: The Church of Christ

So, this principle is what Christ did here while he was on the earth. Obviously, He did so much that I'm not going to have the time to write about all he that he did while he was here. First off, the main purpose of why he came here was to take our sins upon himself and suffer for them. He was foreordained, before the world was created, to come down here, suffer for all of our sins, die on the cross, and have the Father raise him three days later. This is what we call the Atonement. Because he atoned for us. He was able to conquer physical death with the Resurrection, and also spiritual death with his suffering in the Garden Gethsemane.
This is the MOST important thing that He could of done. Everything else he did is based on the Atonement.

Christ also performed many, MANY miracles.  I can't even begin to list all of them that he did. It suffices me to say that he caused the lame to walk, the blind to see, the deaf to hear, and the maimed to be whole. He did much more than what I just spoken of as well. When we look at these miracles, we can see a spiritual side to them as well. Almost all of them, he said that they were healed by their own faith! And to go and sin no more! Those that were spiritually maimed, deaf, blind, or lame, we're healed according to their faith in him as their Lord and Savior.

Another thing that he did that is kind of unnoticed is that he was perfectly obedient to all things! He was baptized by one holding the proper priesthood authority. This is Christ! The one that all lean on! The man that saved the world from it's own calamity. He obeyed regardless of who he was, what he did, or what he was about to do. In fact, I think that because he was obedient to the Father, he realized who he was.

The thing I was getting at was that Christ set up his church while hear on the earth. He called apostles and others into his church and gave them the priesthood, the power and authority to act in his name! Because it was his church, he was in charge of it. When He ascended into heaven, he left his church to the apostles. But he was still in charge of it. In Acts 1:2 it says "Until the say in which he was taken up, after that he through the Holy Ghost had given commandments unto the apostles whom he had chosen:"  He after he left gave commandments through the Holy Ghost. He was still in charge of His church. He still led it. His apostles were the means of how he led it. We teach that Christ's church is supposed to still be led by prophets and apostles who receive revelation for the church and the whole world.

Again, the next post will show you what happened to Christ's church which he established, this I say in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
