3 Nephi 27-30

For class today I read 3 Nephi 27-30.

Ch. 27 -- In this chapter, I really liked that Christ told everyone to do everything in His name. The church is His church because we do things in His name. We should keep that in mind as we go throughout the day. Are our actions respectful to His name? Are we living in a way that He would be proud of us? Everything about our lives should be centered around Him.
Ch. 28 -- I love this chapter!! The three Nephites are given the chance to see into the Heaven's and to hear wonderful things that we can't even imagine!! These remarkable men were so righteous and they preached to all the people in all of the lands. They were thrown into prison and into fires and nothing harmed them!! It is amazing to think that they have been around since that time and have seen Jesus Christ and into Heaven!! I wish that I could meet with them and talk with them and feel the spirit that they have surrounding them!!
Ch. 29 -- Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ have promised us eternal happiness if we follow Their commandments. Trials come and tear us down but they build us up stronger afterwards. The pain we feel during our trials will only make us stronger. In this chapter, Jesus promises us that He will be here for us if we but ask Him for help. During this time it is important that we all realize this. Tough times are coming...worse than we have ever experienced before...we need to have Him in our thoughts and hearts and know that with His help we can overcome.
Ch. 30 -- In this chapter, Christ tells the people to turn away from their worldly obsessions and turn to Him. It is hard to imagine the people would have to be told to do this when they have just seen Christ, the Savior of the world!! If we put all of our trust and faith in Him our lives will be so much better!! We need to forget the worldly things that surround us and rely fully on Him!! Every decision we make should be made with His guidance!! We always need to remember the things He has done for us and the wonderful life we have because of Him and our Heavenly Father. They love us so much and will do anything for us!!
