“Hold Up Your Light” by Marcus B. Nash

40 Day General Conference Challenge DAY 24

TALK: “Hold Up Your Light" by Marcus B. Nash

JESUS CHRIST:

“Jesus Christ is the author and the finisher of our faith. He will finish, He will complete, our exercise of faith—however imperfect—in holding up the gospel light. He will work miracles in our lives and in the lives of all He gathers, for He is a God of miracles.”

-Marcus B. Nash

SCRIPTURE:

 “​Behold, I say unto you that whoso believeth in Christ, doubting nothing, whatsoever he shall ask the Father in the name of Christ it shall be granted him; and this promise is unto all, even unto the ends of the earth.”

-Mormon 9:21

INSPIRING QUOTE:

“Joy. Hope. Sustaining power from God. Protection from temptation. Healing. All of these—and more (including forgiveness of sins–see Doctrine and Covenants 62:3)—distill upon us from heaven as we share the gospel.”

–Marcus B. Nash

INVITATION TO ACT:

 “The gathering of Israel—the greatest cause on this earth—is our covenant responsibility. And this is our time! My invitation today is simple: share the gospel. Be you and hold up the light. Pray for heaven’s help and follow spiritual promptings. Share your life normally and naturally; invite another person to come and see, to come and help, and to come and belong. And then rejoice as you and those you love receive the promised blessings.”

–Marcus B. Nash

PROMISED BLESSING:

“I know that in Christ these good tidings are preached to the meek; in Christ are the brokenhearted bound up; in Christ is liberty proclaimed to the captives; and in Christ, only in Christ, are those who mourn given beauty for ashes (see Isaiah 61:1-3).”

-Marcus B. Nash

REFLECTION QUESTION:

  • What perpetual covenants do I renew each week when I partake of the sacrament?

LEARNING STYLE STUDY IDEA:

NATURE LEARNERS: Elder Nash shares several examples that talk about things in nature. Take note of each thing he shares that I can find in nature (ex. Space, creation, light, heaven, water, vine, etc.)

MY THOUGHTS:

What a great reminder of how we can all share Jesus Christ in simple, normal and natural ways to our family, friends, and even strangers. I loved the call to continue to share Jesus Christ in the on-line world–in small and simple ways. What great blessings can be ours as we follow the counsel to “hold up your light”!
