1. What thoughts do others in my family have about 3 Nephi 9?
2. 3 Ne 9:15 Jesus as the creator of the earth has all power over it, he can change it however and whenever he wants. Whereas, satan does not have this power. Not sure why that is really relevant but I thought about it, especially as it is in the temple, "I reign from..."
3. 3 Ne 9:15 If I ever have faith to move a mountain it will only ever be under Jesus' power, permission, and tutelage.
4. 3 Ne 9:20 The law of Moses is done away and Jesus teaches that the new sacrifice that is required is a broken heart and a contrite spirit. This is what is needed from us to worship fully on the Sabbath.
5. 3 Ne 9:22 We are to approach the Savior as little children, I read this just as Hannah woke up came out of her room and climbed onto my lap without a word. I don't know fully what she thought or felt but it helped me imagine the warmth and comfort of submissively entering the Savior's embrace.
Question of the day: What do you think it means to offer a sacrifice of “a broken heart and a contrite spirit”? What blessings does the Savior promise to those who come unto Him with a broken heart and contrite spirit?
Matthew 22:1-23
The wedding story has always interested me. I have wondered how closely the traditions mentioned in the parable were exactly like what we read. I always picture one of our wedding receptions and somebody dressed in jeans and a t-shirt and them getting bound hand and foot and taken from the reception. As I write this I realize it is probably a little more like how we do not allow those that don't have a recommend into the temple.
