Elder EJones: Revelation

This week I was able to study more about revelation. I love that the Lord gives us the opportunity to receive revelation, the revelation that we need in our personal lives. He also gives us prophets to be able to guide us in the big picture to follow our Savior Jesus Christ.

3 Nephi 9:19-20

19 And ye shall offer up unto me no more the shedding of blood; yea, your sacrifices and your burnt offerings shall be done away, for I will accept none of your sacrifices and your burnt offerings.

20 And ye shall offer for a sacrifice unto me a broken heart and a contrite spirit. And whoso cometh unto me with a broken heart and a contrite spirit, him will I baptize with fire and with the Holy Ghost, even as the Lamanites, because of their faith in me at the time of their conversion, were baptized with fire and with the Holy Ghost, and they knew it not.

21 Behold, I have come unto the world to bring redemption unto the world, to save the world from sin.

I have loved to see how in the Book of Mormon. Believers of Jesus Christ lived the law of Moses even though they didn't understand it all the way. But they trusted the Lord in all that they did. As we offer our repentance through a broken heart and a contrite spirit, we too can be cleansed by the power of Jesus Christ.

I am learning to trust the Lord more and more in my life. He has ALL the answers, and I don't. I may think that at times I do. Or that I want or need something, but in reality I don't know. But if I can trust in Him, I will be able to know.

I have a testimony of Jesus Christ. A testimony that He lives and is my Savior.

Pray for Aaron, Robert and Familia Cardona!!
