And now, after the many testimonies which have been given of him, this is the testimony, last of all, which we give of him: That he lives!
For we saw him, even on the right hand of God; and we heard the voice bearing record that he is the Only Begotten of the Father—
That by him, and through him, and of him, the worlds are and were created, and the inhabitants thereof are begotten sons and daughters unto God.

Monday Devotional
Song
He Sent His Son (Children’s #34)
Scripture
Doctrine and Covenants 76:12-19, 96-98
Discussion
- Joseph Smith was still translating the Bible. When he read John 5:29, he and Sidney Rigdon had questions about heaven.
- D&C 76, which we will spend all week studying, is the answer to that prayer.
- We will talk about how heaven is more than just one place. There are three different levels. Each level is called a kingdom or degree of glory. They are compared to the sun, moon, and stars. The Celestial Kingdom is the sun, the Terrestrial Kingdom is the moon, and the Telestial Kingdom is the stars.
