Jesus Christ

I love it when I get the opportunity to teach about Jesus Christ. It is the lesson for Sunday so I have been reading articles and the scriptures. I guess it really does come down to knowing Christ. If you don't know someone how can you be like them? It is a really great lesson and the articles I found were wonderful. I can't wait to talk to the girls about the Savior. They all have so much faith and I love to hear them talk about the personal relationship they are developing with Jesus. When I came to believe in him it changed my entire life. It changed my nature and healed me. I am far from where I want to be but now I know who I am, where I came from, where we will go after death and my potential. It is awesome to think of the love he has for each and every one of us. I love to think of him and of God my father and of the Holy Ghost and the comfort and joy they want for me:) Here are a few of the scriptures that stand out.

1. Mark 10:13–16. (He greatly loved children.)

2. John 13:3–5. (He was humble and willing to serve, as evidenced by washing the feet of the Apostles.)

3. 3 Nephi 17:5–7. (He remained with the Nephites to heal their sick, lame, and blind.)

4. John 4:5–14. (He was friendly with the Samaritans, who were looked down upon.)

5. Luke 15:11–32. (He was forgiving and taught others to be forgiving in the parable of the prodigal son.)

6. Matthew 18:11–14. (He cared for each person individually as taught in the parable of the lost sheep.)

7. Luke 7:36–50. (He loved even the sinner. I had forgotten this story)
I guess I have made so many mistakes it sometimes seems impossible that I can repent, but I know it is ture. I love being a woman becuase I know how special women are to Christ and that we are daughters of a king. Christ has taught em so much as a friend and a brother.
