From the First Presidency

Learn about Jesus

By President Russell M. Nelson

From “Drawing the Power of Jesus Christ into Our Lives,” Liahona, May 2017, 39–42.

God sent His Son Jesus Christ to help us. You can have power from Jesus Christ when you do these things:

• Learn about the Savior. Several years ago I read and underlined every verse in the scriptures about Jesus Christ. When I finished, I told my wife, “I am a different man!”

• Study “The Living Christ.” It is a testimony about Jesus Christ from the prophets and apostles.

• Be willing to stand out, speak up, and be different from the people of the world.

• Try to look to Him in every thought (see Doctrine and Covenants 6:36). When you do, your doubts and fears will flee.

• Make sacred covenants and keep them.

Jesus is the Christ! His power is available to each one of you.

Help Our Garden Grow!

When Jesus was on the earth, He was always kind to others. When we are kind, we’re following Him.

Just as many different plants, flowers, and vegetables grow in gardens, we can be kind in many different ways.

This year we’re planting a kindness garden! When you show kindness to someone, write it on a cutout shape of a flower, cactus, leaf, plant, vegetable, or even a helpful garden bug! Then send it to us. The back cover will tell you how. Or make your own kindness garden and send us a photo of you “working” in it!

This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.* *John 15:12.

Primary children from Osun State, Nigeria, made flowers to add to the kindness garden!
