3 Nephi 17-19

For class today I read 3 Nephi 17-19.

Ch. 17 -- What really hit me in this chapter was that Christ was getting ready to leave and the people all but begged Him to stay!! They know that He brings happiness and they love having Him there and in their lives. They realized that there was a void in their lives and He filled it!! In our lives, we have this same void. We overcome this by reading our scriptures and praying and bringing ourselves closer to Him. He is always here for us and will fill that void and bring happiness to our lives.

Ch. 18 -- The sacrament is so important!! One of the most important things done while Christ was in America was to give the people the sacrament and teach them how. This is one of the greatest blessings in my life!! Every week I am so anxious for church so that I may partake of the sacrament. Remembering Christ's sacrifice for us is so important and we need to partake of the sacrament to help us remember better His sacrifice. Also, listening to the words of the sacrament prayer helps me to realize what I am doing and the importance of it.

Ch. 19 -- We need to recognize how much Christ and our Heavenly Father love us!! In this chapter it is so apparent!! Christ prays to Heavenly Father to thank Him for the gifts the people have been given and then He prayers for the people. It is so important to realize that They know us and love us and want what is best for us. I know that Christ is always praying for us and hoping for the best in our lives!! We truly are blessed to have this knowledge in our lives and to have Christ and Heavenly Father in our lives!!
