Day 316
Principle: Your desires set the course for the eternities.
Book of Mormon Reading: 3 Nephi 28:1 - 28:24
How would you answer the question posed by Jesus Christ? “What is it that ye desire of me, after that I am gone to the Father?"
How does your answer compare to those given by the twelve disciples?
Cross reference verse 6 with Doctrine & Covenants 7.
The blessings of life given by the Savior demonstrate His power over death. Not only did He have power to take up His body again after death but to promise life eternal to those who follow Him.
How do the promises in these verses strengthen your faith in the Atonement of Jesus Christ?
Mormon, reentering as the narrator in verse 12, and did his best to describe the experience of the translation. When has a spiritual experience left you at a loss for words? Why is it hard to describe sacred experiences?
In a way, being at a loss of words, can help protect a sacred experience. However, there are places where sacred events should be recorded, one of these is a personal journal. By recording your faith building experiences you can return again and again to review and remember past lessons.
