Some thoughts from seminary yesterday. :)
"Listen to him who is the advocate with the Father, who is pleading your cause before him-- Saying: Father, behold the sufferings and death of him who did no sin, in whom thou was well pleased; behold the blood of thy Son which was shed, the blood of him whom thou gavest that thyself might be glorified; Wherefore, Father, spare these my brethren that believe on my name, that they may come unto me and have everlasting life." Doctrine and Covenants 45:3-5
How do you feel about Jesus Christ being your Advocate and not only pleading your cause but paying the penalty for your sins?
Verse three really struck me because it said that Christ IS our Advocate and He IS pleading for us. It is powerful for me to know that He is constantly pleading our case, asking the Father for our forgiveness. He is always there for us, and He is ever-forgiving. I am so touched by that.
What do you feel the Savior wants you to do to more fully come unto Him and accept Him as your Advocate?
He wants me to come unto Him through my thoughts and actions. I need to keep my thoughts clean and pure, and constantly repent of my sins. We all make mistakes, because we are all human. That is what happens. What we need to do is embrace the Atonement and fill our lives with Christ's grace. I am so grateful for His love for me!
Ever smiling,
