The Testaments: of One Fold and One ShepherdThe message of this film is that Jesus Christ is the Savior of all mankind. WHAT IS A TESTAMENT?A Testament is a covenant or an agreement made between God and his people. The term Testament may also refer to a statement of belief.The Old and New Testaments in the Bible are records of God's promises to His people in ancient Israel. The Book of Mormon is a record of God's promises to His people in ancient America. These testaments are also witnesses of Jesus Christ and the reality of His life, love, and sacrifice for each of us.WHAT DOES "ONE FOLD AND ONE SHEPHERD" MEAN?From the Scriptures we learn that Jesus Christ is the Good Shepherd and that those who follow Him are part of his fold (see John 10:14; Alma 5:38, 60).While in Jerusalem, the Savior told His followers, "Other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold: and one shepherd" (John 10:16).Shortly after His Resurrection, Jesus Christ appeared to the people in ancient America. To these people He said, "Verily I say unto you, that ye are they of whom I said: "Other sheep I have which are not of this fold; them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold and one shepherd" (3 Nephi 15:21).These passages of scripture teach us that the Savior loves all His people, regardless of when or where they live. He wants all people everywhere to become part of his fold.WHAT IS THE BOOK OF MORMON?Throughout time, God has repeatedly reached out in love to His children by revealing His gospel to prophets.
