Sunday Happenings

Today Sister Ashby taught ch. 11 The Life of Christ. This would be a great lesson to use as a Family Home Evening. There is a lot of information included about the life of the Savior. Sister Ashby showed us part of the DVD put out by the church entitled "Finding Faith in Christ". This video can be checked out from the library or purchased at the Distribution Center. The lesson was ended with this quote from ch. 11:

"Jesus taught: “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you” (John 15:13–14). He willingly and humbly went through the sorrow in Gethsemane and the suffering on the cross so we could receive all the blessings of the plan of salvation. To receive these blessings, we must come unto Him, repent of our sins, and love Him with all our hearts. He said:
“And this is the gospel which I have given unto you—that I came into the world to do the will of my Father, because my Father sent me.
“And my Father sent me that I might be lifted up upon the cross; and after that I had been lifted up upon the cross, that I might draw all men unto me … that they may be judged according to their works. …
“For the works which ye have seen me do that shall ye also do. …
“Therefore, what manner of men ought ye to be? Verily I say unto you, even as I am” (3 Nephi 27:13–15, 21, 27; italics added)."
