A cool insight from the scriptures- I was reading in Preach
My Gospel and it was talking about how Jesus Christ overcame the obstacle of
physical death for us, and it reminded me of the brother of Jared. He had 2 problems:
breathing and light. He went to the Lord, and the Lord solved the first one,
how they would be able to breathe in the barges. But then the Lord asked him to
work on the second one himself, and so he carved 16 stones out of a rock and
brought them to the Lord. He asked the Lord to make them light up. He put forth
this effort, but he couldn't make it actually light up on his own. Only the
Lord had the power to do that. It's the same with us. There are two obstacles
keeping us from returning to live with God- death and sin. Jesus Christ
overcame the first for us, but He asks us to work on the second. But really, we
just bring rocks to the Lord. But through His power through the Atonement of
Jesus Christ, our efforts can be made enough.
Love you bye!
