Lately, I have been on a quest to really find out who my Savior is! I want to know who He is, how He acted, and how I can live more like Him. It has been a very interesting few weeks. I feel like every time you try and do something good, Satan tempts you even more so you don’t have these spiritual experiences. He doesn’t want you to learn, he doesn’t want that type of progression. So as I have been concentrating my studies, my thoughts, and my actions towards Christ I have seen an increase in spirituality and an increase in happiness.
This week while I
was studying, I came across a scripture in John 17:3:
3 And this is life eternal, that
they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.
I took this scripture and put it to the test. I wanted to find out
Who He Is:
Who is the Christ...The Prince of Peace?
During the week my studies were turned to the scripture that is in
Matthew 16:24:
24 Then said Jesus unto his
disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his
cross, and follow me.
1. GO TO HIM
2. TAKE UP THE CROSS, or in other words, give up all worldliness,
give up all disobedience.
3. FOLLOW HIM
These 3 steps are the steps that will lead us to a better
understand of our Savior and Redeemer. As we Come to Him and obey His
commandments, we are more receptive to spiritual promptings. We will be guided
and directed in the right path, the path of light and never ending happiness.
As we follow Him, we will understand the importance of His coming and more importantly,
His Great Sacrifice: THE ATONEMENT.
Christ has done everything for us. If it wasn’t
for Him, we would be nothing. We are children of men, are nothing in compared
to Him and our Father. We would have remained dirty and marked from the World,
but thanks to Him and His eternal sacrifice we have the option to have Eternal
Life.
This week I had one of the most spiritual experiences I have
ever had, as far as understanding who my Savior is and what He has done for us.
This week we went up to Concepcion to have a meeting with President Bluth. It
was a really spiritual meeting, but towards the middle of the meeting, the
Assistants get up and put a picture up on the big screen. It is a picture of
two hands of a woman. They ask "Whose hands are these?" Everyone
starts saying Hermana Bluth, Hermana so and so. No one could guess. Then they
turn to one Elder and ask him. "Whose hands are these?" He just started bawling.
He said, those are my mom’s hands. They then went on to show a picture of his
mom and her hands. They asked him, "What have those hands done for you in
your life?" He went on to say that those hands have done everything for
him. As he testified the spirit filled to room. You could see the love he had
for his parents and the things he had learned from them also. The assistants
went on to show more pictures, each time asking the same questions. Each time
asking, whose hands are these? Each and every time it was a different Elder or
Sister. They then would go on to testify of how much their parent’s hands have
helped them in their life. I have never been in a room with so many tears and a
feeling of joy. As each and every Elder and Hermana saw the hands of their parents
they would break out in tears and would remember how much their parents have
done for them. At the end they pull up a picture. The picture is of two hands, these
two hands have two marks in the palms. They asked, "whose hands are these?" We
all choked out underneath our tears. Jesus Christ.
They asked, WHAT HAVE THESE
HANDS DONE FOR YOU???
I began to think everything Christ has given me, all that
He has done for me.
I want to tell each and every one of you, that our Savior
is everything to me. I am so grateful for Him and His eternal Sacrifice. I have
never felt so much love for one person. As I sat there and pondered the love I
have for my Savior, I grew closer to him. I understood a little more of who He
is. He literally is the Savior of this World. There has been no one else more
perfect, no one else more loving than that of our Savior.
I challenge each and
every one of you to participate in this same challenge. Find out who you Savior
is and what He has done for you. I have found out who He is... and What He has
done for me. I testify that He lives and loves each and every one of you. No
matter our defects, no matter our mistakes, he loves each and every one of us
the same. He hears and looks after each one of us. As we get a better
understanding of who He is, we will grow closer to Him and receive greater
blessings.
HE IS THE LIGHT AND THE WAY!!! THERE IS NO OTHER WAY!!
Of
these things I testify in the name of Jesus Christ, amen
