I know President Russell M. Nelson is the Lord’s living prophet. I echo his words and add my own testimony of God the Father and of Jesus Christ’s role as our Savior and Redeemer. Heavenly Father sent His Son to the earth to atone for our sins. Jesus Christ lives and loves us.
The Lord stands at the head of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. As modern-day Apostles of Jesus Christ, the message we share today is the same that Apostles shared long ago—that God lives and Jesus is the Christ.
