Jesus Loves Me

By Kim Webb Reid

Before the earth was made, we all lived in heaven with our Heavenly Parents and our older Brother, Jesus. We were happy, and we loved each other very much.

One day Heavenly Father told us He would make an earth for us to live on. He knew we would sometimes not keep His commandments while we were on earth. We would need a Savior to help us return home to Him. Heavenly Father chose Jesus to be our Savior.

When Jesus came to earth, He showed us the right way to live. He helped people. He taught them to love one another.

Jesus suffered in the Garden of Gethsemane and on the cross. He did this so we could repent and so we could live again after we die.

When I learn about Jesus, I feel His love for me.
