The Life of Christ

This past Sunday I taught Relief Society on The Life of Christ. What an amazing opportunity. One thing I love about teaching is how much I learn and how much it challenges me to continue learning. I am so grateful for the Perfect Life he led. That he lived that perfect life to accomplish what he came here to do... Atone for our Sins. To submit to the will of the Father. The Atonement has had a whole new meaning to me in my life as I slowly learn about it and its cleansing and healing power. It can heal so many things in our lives if we will allow it. He taught us how to love and to serve. He was accepting of everyone despite their sins. He forgave those who crucified him , " Father, forgive them for they know not what they do" . There is so much to be learned from our Savior and his life. After studying and preparing for the lesson I realized I needed to make studying the Bible... the old testament and the new testament a priority along with The Book of Mormon. There is so much in there on the prophesying of Christ and of his Life. I hope that as I study the Bible and more of my Savior I will develop an even greater love and appreciation for him and what he was sent here to do. I found this video " Reflections of Christ" and knew I needed to end my lesson with it. It is a video slideshow of his life and ministry. It is set to the tune of "Come Thy Fount" which has become my new favorite hymn. I am grateful for my calling and for the opportunity I have to teach the amazing sisters in my ward. There comments have touched my heart as they testify of their Savior. I love my Savior and am inspired to be more like him in all that I do.

"He who lives only unto himself
withers and dies, while he who forgets
himself in the service of others
grow and blossoms in
this life and in eternity"
