1 Nephi 11:27-28 Jesus Was Sent

"And I looked and beheld the Redeemer of the world, of whom my father had spoken; and I also beheld the prophet who should prepare the way before him. And the Lamb of God went forth and was baptized of him; and after he was baptized, I beheld the heavens open, and the Holy Ghost come down out of heaven and abide upon him in the form of a dove.  And I beheld that he went forth ministering unto the people, in power and great glory; and the multitudes were gathered together to hear him; and I beheld that they cast him out from among them."

In a dream, Nephi is blessed to see the Savior of the World in the Old World going forth among the Jewish people.  He was sent to show us the way to live and how to return back to Heaven.  His example in the scriptures show us plainly the way we should live in order to bring us the most amount of happiness during this mortal period.  He also shows us how to behave so we might become more like Him, thus more like our Father.  We follow His example by exercising faith and being baptized by immersion, like Jesus did.  We follow His example by forgiving, being kind and charitable.  We follow His example of being non-judgmental.  We follow His example of loving little children.  We follow His example by teaching others about His gospel.  We follow His example by praying to our Father.  We follow His example of great compassion on all those around us.  We follow His example of doing our best to help others heal.  We follow His example by helping people who are blind to the mysteries of God, "see" once more or for the very first time.  We follow His example of loving and fellowshipping others that might seem "dead" to spiritual things, that we might "raise them up" again.  We follow His example by turning from the temptations of the world and finding out what God's will is for us, then follow it.  The God I worship sent His Son as a sure example to follow.
