Many people have received testimonies of Christ
Some people have heard or seen Heavenly Father witness that Jesus is His Beloved Son. Have the children sing verses 1–3, one at a time, of “This Is My Beloved Son” (CS, p. 76). After each verse, display the appropriate scripture reference wordstrip (see below) and have one child read the scripture and another relate what he/she remembers of the story.
Display the appropriate picture.
Verse 1: Matthew 3:16–17 [Matt. 3:16–17] (baptism of Jesus);
verse 2: 3 Nephi 11:3–7 [3 Ne. 11:3–7] (the Savior appears to the Nephites);
verse 3: Joseph Smith—History 1:17 [JS—H 1:17] (Joseph Smith’s First Vision).
Ask “Who besides Heavenly Father testifies that Jesus is the Christ?”
Possibilities: the early prophets (JS—H 1:17); Christ’s Apostles and friends (John 6:69; Matt. 16:15–16); latter-day prophets (D&C 76:22–24), including President Gordon B. Hinckley (e.g., “No one believes more fundamentally that [Jesus Christ] was the Son of God, … that He rose from the grave, and that He is the living resurrected Son of the living Father,” Ensign, Feb. 1998, p. 73); and Christ Himself (3 Ne. 11:9–10; John 4:25–26). As those answers are given, have volunteers look up the scriptures and share them. Sing verse 4 of the song. Bear your witness that as we read the words of Christ in the scriptures daily, we will gain an increasing testimony in our own hearts that Jesus is the Son of God.
