Ch. 20 -- As I was reading this chapter I was listening to my iPod. One of my favorite songs came on, it is by a band named Mae and the song is called "We're so Far Away". This song is about Christ and His coming. It was really good to listen especially while reading this chapter. I loved in this chapter that Christ reminded the people that every prophet that had come before He came prophesied about Him and His coming. It is also amazing to think that every prophet since He came to this earth has prophesied His second coming. That is such an obvious sign to anyone that He exists, that we have a loving Heavenly Father, and that we also have modern prophets!! How could anyone deny that!? It is right in our faces!!!
Ch. 21 -- I love in this chapter that Christ very plainly tells the people that those who do not repent and come unto Him, Heavenly Father will take away everything from them and destroy their homes and lands and EVERYTHING!! I don't love that these people will be destroyed, but I love that in this church and the scriptures, the consequences are out in front of us. We do not have to wonder what will happen if we do this or that, we KNOW what will happen. This is another sign to me that Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ love us!! They care so much for us that they will tell us the things we need to do and also, they will warn us of the consequences of not following their commandments.
Ch. 22 -- This chapter is amazing!! Christ tells the people, (in a nutshell), "Yeah I have been upset with you and I've wanted to turn away and be mad, but I love you and I will always love you and show mercy and compassion towards you." This is the greatest thing I've ever read!! Christ loves us so much that He forgives us in a blink of an eye!! This is such an example to me!! I have tried to forgive those who have done wrong towards me...it is hard!! But I know that it is possible and worth it!! Also, I am trying to make everything right with those whom I have wronged. It is not easy to admit that you were wrong and to ask for forgiveness, but what is stopping you?? I would try and come up with excuses for why I was right for what I did, but they are just excuses that I came up with to not look stupid!! We need to forgive everyone and we need to constantly be asking for forgiveness!!
