Talk summary:
Like a guiding star, Jesus Christ lights the way.
“He came to earth in a humble stable. He lived a perfect life. He healed the sick and raised the dead. He was a friend to the forgotten. He taught us to do good, to obey, and to love one another. He died on the cross, rising majestically three days later, allowing us and those we love to live beyond the grave. With His incomparable mercy and grace, He took upon Himself our sins and our suffering, bringing forgiveness as we repent, and peace in the storms of life. We love Him. We worship Him. We follow Him. He is the anchor of our souls.”
While this spiritual conviction is increasing in some, faith in Jesus Christ is diminishing in parts of the world. “We have taken upon ourselves the name of the Savior upon us. What more are we to do?”
Part of the answer comes in following President Russell M. Nelson, who has invited members to follow his example and study the 2,200 scripture references of Jesus Christ listed in the Topical Guide. President Nelson has also encouraged individuals to use the correct name of the Church.
“I promise you that as you prepare yourselves as President Nelson did, you too will be different, thinking more about the Savior, speaking of Him more frequently and with less hesitation. As you come to know and love Him even more deeply, your words will flow more comfortably, as they do when you speak of one of your children or of a dear friend. Those listening to you will feel less like debating or dismissing you, and more like learning from you.”
Members can do a little better about speaking of Jesus Christ in their homes, with their children, in worship services, and with those around them, including on social media. “As the world speaks less of Jesus Christ, let us speak more of Him.”
