He's always there.

Today I wish to write about our Lord and Savior Jesus christ, and what he has done for us. There is a special spirit that accompanies this subject, and I pray that I will be able to do it justice.

So turning to the scriptures, we find in the Book of Mormon 1 Nephi 8:20 In this scripture we find Lehi a prophet of God, who in vision see's the tree of life, which is a representation of Jesus christ, and ofcourse eternal life. Lehi tell's his son's what he saw, and in a later scripture, Nephi, the writter of this account and the son of Lehi, prays to know about the vision that his father recieved. In exchange he is given a glorious manifestation, an angel, speaks to him face to face and explains the vision. In 1 Nephi 11:25 we learn that the iron rod is the word of God; which is a representation of the gospel of Jesus Christ. But what do we learn that the word of God is in the Book of John? John 1:1-5 through this scripture we learn, that the word of god is the very son of God, Jesus Christ. The iron rod, is a representation of Jesus Christ. In Lehi's vision we learn that Jesus Christ literally died for our sins, that we may partake in eternal life. But also, we learn that the key to gaining this, is to hold fast to the iron rod, or the word of God. We are to Hold fast to Jesus Christ. Jesus christ is so anxious to bless you that he is willing, and ready to guide you down the path of righteousness, to guide you through these peverbial "mists of darkness", which is anything that could distract us from this course. He is our great guide, our savior Jesus Christ, he wants to guide you. He's so excited to bless you with his atonement, that he's willing to guide you right to the fruits that he bore, his atonement, the perfection he provides us! He's there every step of the way, as we learn in Moroni 7:48 Christ's intentions are to purify us, that we may become like him. That we may stand with him, in the presence of the Father, having eternal life and Joy before us, and life with our families, with our Father in heaven, with the whole family of God forever. The Tree of life also represents this life, the fruit that Christ bore. He wants to guide you, through his words he is able to guide us, and through it we are able to get to know him on a personal level, to gain that relationship with him, that we may live with him eternally. Let us pray to our Father in heaven, and read his words! Let our redeemers cleansing love wash away our sins, and present us spotless before the Father. I say these things in the name of Jesus Christ, amen.
