My first Relief Society discussion as president.
Matthew 5:48
Be ye therefore bperfect, even as your cFather which is in heaven is dperfect.
What does this mean??
We need to strive to become like Christ.
The scriptures describe a number of Christ like attributes we need to develop during the course of our lives. What are some of those attributes and a story to support that attribute?
humility - washed his disciples feet at the last supper.
charity and love -
obedience - baptism
faith and hope
patience - with disciples
long suffering - sermon on the mount
compassion - raising lazarus
submission - willing to die on the cross
gentleness -
meekness - prayed for the soldiers that crucified him
kindness - lepars, Samaritans, those that were hated by others
mercy - healing the sick
What do these stories have in common? These demonstrations of Christ like attributes are manifested through some action to another.
If we want to develop Christ like attributes we must do that through our actions to others. Otherwise known as SERVICE.
Mosiah 2:17
When you are in the service of your fellow beings you are only in the service of your God.
To learn to LOVE someone, you need to ?? (know them) and how do you get to know them ?? you serve them.
