President Ezra Taft Benson, Chapter 6: Jesus Christ, Our Savior and Redeemer

Sisters,

This week in Relief Society, we will be discussing Chapter 6 in the Ezra Taft Benson manual, "Jesus Christ, Our Savior and Redeemer". In the lesson, President Benson shares his own testimony of Jesus Christ:

With all my soul, I love Him.

I humbly testify that He is the same loving, compassionate Lord today as when He walked the dusty roads of Palestine. He is close to His servants on this earth. He cares about and loves each of us today. Of that you can be assured.

He lives today as our Lord, our Master, our Savior, our Redeemer, and our God.

God bless us all to believe in Him, to accept Him, to worship Him, to fully trust in Him, and to follow Him.

The lesson then explains:

This testimony of Jesus Christ was the foundation of President Benson’s life. It shaped his priorities, guided his decisions, and helped him through trials. It provided perspective on the purpose of mortality and confidence in the promises and blessings of eternal life.

Is the testimony of Jesus Christ the foundation of your life? Does it shape your priorities, guide your decisions and help you through trials? Please take some time to read the beautiful teachings in this lesson and come prepared on Sunday to share your thoughts and feelings as we discuss how we can better make the Savior the foundation of our lives.
