“Charity—a Sign of True Discipleship” by Michael B. Strong

40 Day General Conference Challenge DAY 34

QUOTE ABOUT JESUS CHRIST:

“I testify that Jesus Christ is our living, glorious Savior, Redeemer, Exemplar, and Friend.”  Michael B. Strong




SCRIPTURE:

“And it came to pass that when Jesus had thus spoken, he cast his eyes round about again on the multitude, and beheld they were in tears⁠, and did look steadfastly upon him as if they would ask him to tarry a little longer with them. And he said unto them: Behold, my bowels are filled with compassion towards you.” -3 Nephi 17:5-6

INSPIRING QUOTE:

“A disciple is a follower or student of another. Disciples are “apprentices” who devote their lives to becoming like their teacher. Thus, being a disciple of Jesus Christ implies more than believing His teachings and doctrine. It even implies more than acknowledging His divinity and accepting Him as our Savior and Redeemer, as vitally important as that is…Discipleship is a deliberate journey that we take to become transformed through the Lord’s atoning sacrifice and His enabling power. The real destination of discipleship is literally to become as Jesus Christ is —even to the point where we receive ‘his image in [our] countenances.’” Michael B. Strong

INVITATION TO ACT:

“To be the Lord’s disciples, we must intentionally imitate His thoughts and actions every day —for example, His obedience, humility, and patience. As we gradually incorporate these attributes into our own identities, we become ‘partakers of [His] divine nature.’ This emulation of the Savior’s character is at the heart of worshipping Him.”Michael B. Strong

A PROMISED BLESSING:

“Brothers and sisters, discipleship of Jesus Christ is the only way to obtain enduring happiness. It is a path filled with deliberate and purposeful acts of love toward others. While the path of discipleship may be difficult and challenging, and while at times we may struggle and fall short, we can take comfort that God is mindful of us and yearns to help us every time we try…With this assurance from our Father in Heaven in mind, I earnestly pray that we may follow President Nelson’s invitation to prioritize our discipleship.”  Michael B. Strong

REFLECTION QUESTION:

  • How am I making my discipleship a priority?
