I was watching this video clip of Rachel Esplin, a student at Harvard, who was on a religious panel and talked about her LDS beliefs. She did a great job of articulating her religion and I recommend everyone watch it at http://vimeo.com/2120177. The panel director asked Rachel, "Who is Jesus Christ to you?" I watched Rachel answer but couldn't help answering for myself as well. I wanted to blog right away because I feel so much love for my Savior that I started to get teary eyed!
Jesus Christ is my Savior, my friend. He guides me and helps me on a daily basis. He strengthens me when I am weak and lifts me up when I am down. I feel his love when I pray. I know that he knows ME and loves me and wants me to succeed. He has shown me the path to follow so that I might return to my Father in Heaven one day. My joy in life has come from following that path. I talk to God through my brother, Jesus Christ. He is my lifeline. I am so grateful for the atonement and all that Jesus went through for me. I am so blessed to know Him, how could I not cry when asked "Who is Jesus Christ to you?"
