Walk With Christ Day 15


Day 15
Resurrection
Hymn- # 82 When He Comes Again Children’s Songbook
Prayer – Pray to feel the love of your Savior and his presence in your life.
Scriptures-
3 Nephi 11:7 “Behold my Beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased, in whom I have glorified my name”
D&C 76:22 “And now, after the many testimonies which have been given of him, this is the testimony, last of all, which we give of him: That he lives!
Matthew 28:1-7
Thought:
No event of human history carries a more compelling witness than does the reality of the Resurrection. His followers on two continents testified of it. Uncounted millions of men and women through the ages have suffered, even unto death, for the witness in their hearts that He lives,the Savior and Redeemer of all mankind, whose “Atonement came as an act of grace for the entire world. How long and how great is the concourse of brave and humble people who have kept alive the name of Jesus and a testimony of His Redemption!
Now He has come again, in the latter days, to bless us and warm our hearts, to quicken our faith and bring us sure and certain knowledge of His living reality. We, of all people, can sing:
Joy to the world, the Lord is come;
Let earth receive her King!
Let ev’ry heart prepare him room,
And Saints and angels sing.
(“Joy to the World,” Hymns, no. 201)
We honor Him, we worship Him, we love Him as our Redeemer, the great Jehovah of the Old Testament, the Messiah of the New Testament. The entire thrust of the testimony of the Book of Mormon and Doctrine and Covenants declares our living Lord before whom we kneel in humility and faith.” Gordon B. Hinckley, “A Testimony of the Son of God,” Ensign, Dec 2002, 2–5
Questions to Ponder:
What can I do in my life to feel closer to the Savior and have a better understanding of the Resurrection?
How does the Resurrection impact my life on a day-to-day basis?
What is one thing that I can do to strengthen my home and family during this holiday season?
Action:
Share your testimony of the Resurrection with a friend or neighbor.
Give service to someone today that may normally be overlooked.
