Blessing #5: A Knowledge of My Savior

Jesus Christ is, in every literal way, our Savior and Redeemer. There is no description adequate for all that He has done for us and all He will forever do for us, but we know that He lived a perfect earthly life, took upon Himself every pain and affliction of mortality, and suffered the crucifixion for us. For every single one of Heavenly Father's children.

It is a common belief that Jesus Christ has not appeared again on the Earth since just after His crucifixion, when He appeared in Jerusalem after being resurrected. I know with all my heart, however, that these people that He appeared to are not the only ones to have this sacred experience. 

In John 10:16, in the Bible, we read of Jesus Christ mentioning the people of the Americas, His "other sheep." When He again departed from Jerusalem, He went to minister to those people, an experience we read about in the Book of 3rd Nephi, in the Book of Mormon. It is in this beautiful account where we can become much more acquainted with the love that the Savior has for us as individuals, and we can better understand exactly how He ministers to us.

Reflections of Christ: Another Testament

I strongly encourage you to watch this short video. And I want you all to know that I know that the accounts we have of Jesus Christ in the scriptures are all true. I know that this knowledge has immensely blessed my life, as I have felt of His infinite love for me, personally. 

There truly is a Savior of the world, and He will always be whatever we need Him to be for us. Will we be what He needs us to be for Him?
