2 nephi 19:1 - 20:11
in 2 nephi 19:6 there are words used to describe the Savior. what words would you use to describe the Savior and your relationship with Him and why?
--> if you've never taken the time to read through the bible dictionary entry "Christ, names of", you should do yourself a favor and check it out. every now and again during the sacrament i will pull this section out and just read all the names that Christ is referred to in the scriptures as.
one of my very favorite titles from that section of scripture is "the spiritual rock". we talk a lot about building a foundation on something that will never falter. we talk a lot about mediums that are strong and those that are weak. we make comparisons and analogies and tell stories to relate this to that. but when it all comes down to it, the Savior, Jesus Christ, HE is the rock, the spiritual rock, on whom we must build and put everything on.
as a latter-day saint woman, it can be overwhelming to think about all the things i am asked to do. in reality, you could find enough stuff to do in your religion to keep you occupied and overly busy 24/7. (luckily Heavenly Father doesn't require that). in the midst of all the programs and activities and events and numbers and requirements, it's important to remember why they all exist, and why i'm doing everything i'm doing. this spiritual title of Christ suggests just why: because He is the spiritual rock. He is the center of everything and the most important why we could ever have in our lives. when i remember that, suddenly i don't feel so overwhelmed anymore. life is good.
