Week 18 - Scriptures Prophecy Of Christ

Hallo Alle! Es geht mir sehr gut und ich hoffe, dass es euch Alles gut
geht. Deutschland ist super!

 

This week was pretty good. A lot of traveling. I got to spend a couple
days in Frankfurt, which was awesome. On the train ride back to
Euskirchen, we rode next to the Rhein the entire time. It was so cool.
I'll try to send a video clip because it was definitely one of the
coolest train rides anybody could take.

 

Since we were traveling a lot this week, we didn't really get to teach
a lot. That doesn't mean that it wasn't a great week, though. There
are so many meaningful experiences that come from the scriptures. I
feel like I do this every week, but I would just like to share
something that I have learned from personal study.

 

I would like to share a scripture I read recently that talks about the
scriptures. Jacob 1: 10-11. In this scripture there was a man who
denied the Christ. He wanted to persuade Jacob that there was no
Christ. This is what Jacob told him:

 

10 And I said unto him: Believest thou the scriptures? And he said, Yea.

 

11 And I said unto him: Then ye do not understand them; for they truly

 

testify of Christ. Behold, I say unto you that none of the prophets
have written, nor prophesied, save they have spoken concerning this
Christ.

 

I think that this is so cool. Jacob is one of my favorites. The
scriptures, Old and New Testament, The Book of Mormon, D&C, The Pearl
of Great Price, and the words of modern day prophets all have one
purpose: to prophesy of Christ. They tell us how we can have life more
abundantly and eternal life in the next (John 10: 9-11). We just need
to live the principles found in these words. It is not easy,
especially in this world and its values, but Elder Holland said that
"salvation is not easy." Remember, as it says in Jacob 5: 20-23, the
trees that were planted in hard ground brought forth much fruit. "And
let us not be aweary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap,
if we faint not (Galatians 6:9)." I extend the same invitation as
Nephi: "Wherefore, I said unto you, feast upon the words of Christ;
for behold, the words of Christ will tell you all things what ye
should do. (2 Nephi 32: 3)."

 

The Church is True.

 

Danke für alle die Stützung! Ich habe euch Lieb! Bis nächste Woche!
