“Sir, We Would Like To See Jesus” by Robert M. Daines

40 Day General Conference Challenge DAY 4

QUOTE ABOUT JESUS CHRIST:

That is what we all want—we want to see Jesus for who He is and to feel His love. This should be the reason for most of what we do in the Church—and certainly of every sacrament meeting. If you’re ever wondering what kind of lesson to teach, what kind of meeting to plan, and whether to just give up on the deacons and play dodgeball, you might take this verse as your guide: will this help people see and love Jesus Christ?

-Robert M. Daines

SCRIPTURE:

Wherefore, my beloved brethren, pray unto the Father with all the energy of heart, that ye may be filled with this love, which he hath bestowed upon all who are true followers of his Son, Jesus Christ; that ye may become the sons of God; that when he shall appear we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is; that we may have this hope; that we may be purified even as he is pure. Amen.

-Moroni 7:48

INSPIRING QUOTE:

I suspect you know someone (perhaps you are someone) who suffers from a kind of spiritual face blindness. You may struggle to see God as a loving Father. You may look heavenward and see not the face of love and mercy but a thicket of rules through which you must wend your way. Perhaps you believe God rules in His heavens, speaks through His prophets, and loves your sister, but you secretly wonder whether He loves you.

Robert M. Daines

INVITATION TO ACT:

Let us seek His loving face, His covenant embrace, and then join arm in arm with His children..May we seek His loving face and then be vessels of His mercy to His children.

-Robert M. Daines

A PROMISED BLESSING:

Whoever you are, whatever your past, there is room for you in this Church. Grab a pick and shovel and join the team. Help carry His love to His children, and some of it will splash on you.
-Robert M. Daines

REFLECTION QUESTION:

  • How can I more fully see Jesus for who He really is?
