This morning I was wondering why Jesus was important. What's the big deal with the Man from Galilee? I understand He was full of good advice, lived a pretty exemplary life, but is He really deserving of worship? 

I came across some verses in the Book of Mormon which helped me understand. 

And the angel again said unto me: Behold, and see the condescension of God.

(1st Nephi  11:26) 

That's why Jesus is important. Because He's actually a God, and "the love of God... is the most desirable above all things." (Verse 22) 

So, that's why Jesus is important. He's not just a nice person, or wise teacher. He's God. And He loves you. That's pretty special, now isn't it?
