“Jesus Christ is the perfect example for me”
Jesus Christ is the perfect example for me. When Jesus was 12 years old, he went with
Joseph and Mary to Jerusalem. When it
was time to leave Mary and Joseph couldn’t find Jesus anywhere and they were
worried about him. They looked all over
and found him in the temple. Jesus was
teaching some older men about the gospel.
From this, I learn that even little kids like me can learn about the
gospel and teach others about it. And I
can prepare to go to the temple when I turn 12 too.
And one time there were lots of people and Jesus fed them
all with just a little bread and fish.
It was a miracle. I can be like
Jesus by sharing my food and toys with my brothers.
John the Baptist was preaching to some people and Jesus came
down and asked John to baptize him.
John baptized Jesus. We know
that Jesus was perfect, so he really didn’t need to be baptized for his sins,
but Jesus was baptized anyway because Heavenly Father commanded us all to be
baptized and Jesus was obedient. This
story shows us that we need to be baptized.
I can’t wait to be baptized when I turn 8!
Another time Jesus walked on the water and asked one of his
apostles to walk on the water too. This
shows me that if I have enough faith and follow the commandments, nothing is
impossible.
One time there were 10 lepers – lepers are people who have a
very bad disease that makes their skin falls off. Jesus came and healed the 10 lepers. But only 1 of them came back to thank Jesus. This teaches us to show gratitude for our
blessings.
And there were many times when Jesus sat and ate with people
who had sinned. There were some people
who thought that the son of God shouldn’t be with sinners. But Jesus knew that everyone is a child of
God, and needs the gospel. I can follow
Jesus’ example by being kind to others.
If there is someone at school who seems lonely, I can try to be their
friend.
