His message was and is a message of hope and belonging—a testimony that God our Heavenly Father has not abandoned His children.
That God is among us!
He teaches us to become His disciples—that our hearts should not strive for personal power, wealth, approval, or position. He teaches us to “lay aside the things of this world, and seek for the things of a better.”
He teaches us to become His disciples—that our hearts should not strive for personal power, wealth, approval, or position. He teaches us to “lay aside the things of this world, and seek for the things of a better.”
He urges us to seek joy, enlightenment, peace, truth, happiness, and the promise of immortality and eternal life.
Let us take this a step further. Suppose Jesus came to your ward, to your branch, or to your home today. What would that be like?
He would see right into your heart. Outward appearances would lose their importance. He would know you as you are. He would know your heart’s desires.
One look into His eyes and we would never be the same. We would be forever changed. Transformed by the profound realization that, indeed, God is among us.
