Likening This Chapter Unto Me
I have always love the Sermon on the Mount and the Beatitudes. I memorized Matthew 5 as a girl (age 12). When I realized that Jesus gave the same Sermon to the Nephites I was so happy because he wanted them to have the same teaching as he shared with the people in Jerusalem.
I have thought often about the Beatitudes over the years and have tried to remmeber them as a guide post for my life. I also wonder if because these teachings were so important for Christ to teach in both sides of the world, if when we are judged on judgement day, if our judgements will be based on Matthew 5 and 3 Nephi 12! Something for me to think about and ponder on.
I am thankful for my Savior, his love for me, and this time of year that allows me to reflect whole heartedly upon the Words of Christ. I am really thankful that I chose to read the Book of Mormon in 90 days at this time of year. It has been such a wonderful experience!
My testimony has grown exponentially as well as my love for other members of my faith. You can not read the words of the Prophets, believe what they teach, and not feel incredible compassion for the Church of God and those who love Jesus Christ, do his will, and endure to the end!
