Ch. 23 -- This chapter is very simple and straight forward. The scriptures were written for us today by inspired men of God. The things that we read about are not just stories...they are real events. Christ tells the people that they need to study these things diligently. In our own lives we need to do that. We need to "feast upon the words of Christ". The scriptures are a blessing straight from our Heavenly Father to help us get through this life and return to Him.
Ch. 24 -- In this chapter, Christ explains to them the importance of tithes and offering. I have such a testimony of this!! Of the many things that Heavenly Father has given us, He only asks a mere 10%!! I know that if we give this 10% willingly, knowing that it is for Heavenly Father and the church, that we will be blessed for our sacrifice. We need to not covet that money, even if we are going through a rough time, because the Lord will provide for us if we obey Him.
Ch. 25 -- In this chapter Christ gives some signs of the Second Coming. Also, He warns the people of what will happen if they will not believe on Him. I am so thankful that we have the true knowledge of Christ's church!! I sometimes wonder what my life would be like if I did not. There are so many questions that in other circumstances I might have had, but that I know the answers to because of this church. It is just the greatest feeling to know that God loves us and is here for us and has given us the knowledge of Him and our potential.
Ch. 26 -- I love this chapter because Christ lets the children teach their parents. I don't think we realize how much we learn from our parents and can teach them. In the child parent relationship, there are rolls that both play. The parent obviously teaches and helps the child but the child has to do the same. Christ lets the children preach to their parents of the things they know and the chapter even says they were greater than anything He had told them thus far. It is just so important that we realize everyone is a child of God and has thoughts and feelings and a testimony. Everyone has something to share and we need to listen because we may learn something amazing from them that could change our lives.
