Atonement

Tonight's thought is perfect coming on the eve of Palm Sunday

"This Jesus, who is called Christ, wrought out a perfect atonement for all mankind by His incomparable life, His suffering in Gethsemane, the shedding of His blood, His death upon the cross, and His glorious Resurrection. He conquered the grave, and because of Him, so will we."

--Bishop Keith B. McMullin, "Jesus, the Very Thought of Thee", Ensign, May 2004, 34

We are somebody

Two short quotes tonight. Elder Ashton's quote gives me hope. Because sometimes I wonder.

"As children of God we are somebody. He will build us, mold us, and magnify us if we will but hold our heads up, our arms out, and walk with him. What a great blessing to be created in his image and know of our true potential in and through him! What a great blessing to know that in his strength we can do all things!"

--Marvin J. Ashton, "In His Strength", Ensign, Jul 1973, 24

And Bishop McMullin's is keenly felt. I strive very much to listen to the Holy Ghost.

"The Holy Ghost is the third member of the Godhead, sent forth by God to reveal all needful things. He teaches and testifies with divine power and clarity. His witness may go unheard or unheeded, forsaken or denied, but it is never misunderstood."

--Bishop Keith B. McMullin; Ensign, May 1996, Page 6
