While our subject might be about families or service or temples or a recent mission, everything in our worship should point to the Lord Jesus Christ.
We Talk of Christ
By Elder Neil L. Andersen
This has been the subject of my daily book of mormon posts. Sometimes it's hard to condense the wordier texts into a short post. It's made me more aware of Jesus Christ in the scriptures though. Possibly more importantly, it's made me more aware of Jesus Christ in every part of my life. It's easy to lose sight of Him in all the chaos. His plan, His care, His mercy, His guidance, His comfort are always there. He is woven into every part of life.
Actually, the plan of salvation is a base of our lives. Jesus Christ is central to the Plan. It makes me think of woven tapestries. I love watching the base, white yarn (warp) fill up with colorful yarn (weft) to create a picture or pattern. The pattern emerges slowly, line upon line, depending on the weaver's decisions. The warp is constant. It's stretched tightly across the loom so it has to be stronger than the weft. It holds the entire textile together. Without the strong strands of warp, the weft has nothing to hold it in a pattern. Jesus Christ is our warp. We decide the pattern of our lives. If we try to build on our own weaker strands, it simply won't hold. We can choose color and pattern but we must weave ourselves into God's plan and Jesus Christ is the center of that plan.
