“And They Sought to See Jesus Who He Was” by James W. McConkie III
40 Day General Conference Challenge DAY 15
NAME OF CHRIST:
“We ‘sought to see Jesus who he was.’ It was not Jesus as we wanted or wished Him to be, but rather Jesus as He really was and is.”
-James W. McConkie III
QUOTE ABOUT JESUS CHRIST:
“With that telling of Mark 2 in mind, several important truths become clear about Jesus as the Christ. First, when we try to help someone we love come unto Christ, we can do so with confidence that He has the capacity to lift the burden of sin and to forgive. Second, when we bring physical, emotional, or other illnesses to Christ, we can do so knowing He has the power to heal and comfort. Third, when we make effort like the four to bring others to Christ, we can do so with certainty that He sees our true intentions and will appropriately honor them.”
-James W. McConkie III
SCRIPTURE:
“But when the multitudes saw it, they marvelled, and glorified God, which had given such power unto men.”
-Matthew 9:8
INSPIRING QUOTE:
“At different times I have carried the corner of a bed, and at other times I have been the one carried. Part of the power of this remarkable story of Jesus is that it reminds us just how much we need each other, as brothers and sisters, in order to come unto Christ and be transformed.”
-James W. McConkie III
INVITATION TO ACT:
“Whether as missionaries, ministers, Relief Society presidents, bishops, teachers, parents, siblings, or friends, we are all engaged as Latter-day Saint disciples in the work of bringing others to Christ. Thus, the qualities exhibited by the four friends are worth considering and emulating. They are bold, adaptive, resilient, creative, versatile, hopeful, determined, faithful, optimistic, humble, and enduring.”
-James W. McConkie III
A PROMISED BLESSING:
“Whether in Argentina or Vietnam, Accra or Brisbane, a branch or a ward, a family or a missionary companionship, we each have a corner to carry. As we do, and if we will, the Lord blesses us all. As He saw their faith, so will He see ours and bless us as a people.”
-James W. McConkie III
REFLECTION QUESTION:
- How can I spend more time with Jesus?
LEARNING STYLE STUDY IDEA:
BOOK LEARNERS: Read and study the footnotes from this talk for additional clarity and understanding.
MY THOUGHTS:
To truly know Jesus Christ and become friends with Him, and build relationship with Him, we need to spend with Him. Each minute we spend with the Savior each day adds up to a lot of time over our lifetime. We each have a role to play as we come to the Savior and brings our family and friends along too. -Erin
