To Know Christ
 



A man passed away, was resurrected, and was sitting in a room to be interviewed.  The door opened and a man who was ahead of him was permitted to enter.  The door closed.  The man on the outside could hear the conversation on the other side of the door.  The interviewer began, "I want you to tell me what you know about Jesus Christ."
 

"Well," the man responded.  "He was born of a virgin in Bethlehem.  He lived thirty-three years, spending the last three years of His ministry organizing His church.  He chose apostles to direct it and gave the gospel to direct our lives."
 

The interviewer stopped him and said, "Yes, yes, that's all true, but I want you to tell me what you know about Jesus Christ."
 

"Well," the man continued..."he was tortured and crucified that we might have eternal life.  Three days later He was resurrected that we might return to Heavenly Father."
 

"Yes, yes," said the interviewer.  "That is true, but I want you to tell me what you know about Jesus Christ."
 

The man, a little perplexed, again began, "Well, He restored the Gospel in its fullness to the earth through Joseph Smith, reorganized His church, and gave us temples wherein we might do work to save our dead.  He gave us family prayer and family home evening where we might unite with our families.  He gave us the Priesthood to heal the sick and perform ordinances for our salvation and exaltation."
 

The interviewer again stopped him and said, "All of what you have said to me is true."  The man was then invited to leave the room.
 

After he left, the door opened and the second man entered.  As he approached the interviewer, he fell upon his knees and cried, "My, Lord, My God."
