58.Today I am grateful for Jesus Christ

Today at church, I was overcome for gratitude for Jesus Christ. For his life, example, mission and sacrifice for all mankind. The sacrament meeting talks focused on love and service. The greatest example we have of love and service is the Savior. He not only taught us to love and serve but commanded us to love and serve others. I have come to know that is through having love for others and serving them that we truly become Disciples of Christ. In Sunday school we talked about having faith in Christ. What does it mean to have faith in Christ? For me, it means knowing that he was foreordained to come to earth to live a perfect life and to atone for our sins so that we can have the opportunity to live with our Heavenly Father again. I know that it is through the atonement that I can be forgiven of my sins and that I can receive comfort during times of sadness, fear and loneliness.

My favourite hymn is “I Know That My Redeemer Lives” which exemplifies my love and gratitude for Jesus Christ, my Redeemer and Savior and the world.
