“The Greatest Possession” by Jeffrey R. Holland

40 Day General Conference Challenge DAY 2

TALK: "The Greatest Possession” by Elder Jeffrey R. Holland

JESUS CHRIST:

“For the blessing of receiving the greatest of all possessions—the gift of eternal life—it is little enough that we are asked to stay the course in following the High Priest of our Profession, our Day Star, Advocate, and King.”

SCRIPTURE:

“And now, my beloved brethren, I would that ye should ​​​come​ unto Christ, who is the Holy One of Israel, and partake of his salvation, and the power of his redemption. Yea, come unto him, and ​​​offer​ your whole souls as an ​​​offering​ unto him, and continue in ​​​fasting​ and praying, and endure to the end; and as the Lord liveth ye will be saved.” -Omni 1:26

INSPIRING QUOTE:

“When the love of God sets the tone for our own lives, for our relationships to each other and ultimately our feeling for all humankind, then old distinctions, limiting labels, and artificial divisions begin to pass away, and peace increases.”… We take “on one transcendent identity…’the children of Christ.”

INVITATION TO ACT:

“With or without riches, each of us is to come to Christ with the same uncompromised commitment to His gospel that was expected of this young man. In the vernacular of today’s youth, we are to declare ourselves ‘all in.’”

 

“‘Come unto your Savior. Come completely and wholeheartedly. Take up your cross, however heavy it may be, and follow Him.’”

PROMISED BLESSING:

“God is our Father and is exceptionally good at forgiving and forgetting sins we have forsaken, perhaps because we give Him so much practice in doing so. In any case, there is divine help for every one of us at any hour we feel to make a change in our behavior.”

REFLECTION QUESTION:

  • How can I more fully love God, love my neighbor, and love myself?

LEARNING STYLE STUDY IDEA:

MUSIC LEARNERS: Listen to several versions of “Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing.”

MY THOUGHTS:

The Lord just wants US

–all of US. 

He wants our HEART 

and to give OUR WHOLE SELF over to Him.
