Jesus Christ and the Everlasting Gospel

Jesus Christ Went About Doing Good

“The Living Christ: The Testimony of the Apostles” teaches that “[Jesus] ‘went about doing good' (Acts 10:38), yet was despised for it” (Ensign or Liahona, Apr. 2000, 2). As

disciples of Jesus Christ, we are to follow His example of doing good despite the possibility of persecution. Think about why we should treat those who mistreat us because of our

beliefs with the same love and respect Jesus showed His persecutors. As we follow the Savior's example, we will be blessed with

courage to live and defend our faith and we will be able to help others draw closer to the

Lord.
