Jesus the Christ
Since it was Easter and the fifth Sunday of the month Relief Society and Priesthood combined and our Bishopric gave the lesson. The lesson material came from the book Jesus the Christ written by James E. Talmage. Anyone unfamiliar with James E. Talmage just know he is brilliant, and this book is so amazing! I encourage everyone to get a copy and study from Jesus the Christ. It is a tough read, but the sacrifice put into reading it will strengthen ones testimony of the Beloved Son of God.
This beautiful Easter I hope we have all taken time to reflect on the Savior's life, sacrifice, atonement, death, and resurrection.
Rather than go over points of the lesson today I want to bear my testimony of the Savior. I know that Christ is the literal Son of God. He lived a perfect life, and spent His days teaching the gospel and serving. He showed love to all He met and performed miracles. He performed the perfect and infinite Atonement. I know he suffered for all my sins, pains, and heart aches. He understands all I have been through because He has been through it too. He was beaten, mocked, and killed in the cruelest of ways, but He endured all things with love. Christ rose with a perfectly resurrected body, and broke the bands of death that we may also be resurrected and return to the presence of our Father and and Him our Savior. Jesus Christ knows me and every detail of my life. He loves me so much and each of us individually. He cares and will always be there for me when I turn to Him. When we run to Him, He will meet us half way. He will morn with us, and dry our tears. Through Him everything that is wrong will be made right. I know these things are true in the sacred name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
