Fishers of Men

It sure takes a lot of faith to follow Jesus Christ. I found this awesome story about a grandpa and his granddaughter, in it he tells of two who followed Jesus and became fishers of men!

The necessity of Christ's Atonement is seldom recognized or understood. But for the word that describes how necessary it is, it would be absolutely.

The Law of Moses

The law of Moses was (as given to him by God in the Old Testament) a very strict law given to ancient Israel after the parting of the Red Sea. But was there more to this other than just a lifestyle or a fashonable thing to do? There actually is:

The Perfect Examplar

Jesus lived the only perfect life that has ever been lived. He asks us to be perfect as He, and His Father, is (Matt. 5:48; 3 Ne. 12:48). Knowing that we would fail at this he willingly gave His life for us during His Atonement for us, making it possible that, if we repent, as if we did. So why not follow His perfect example and live?

The Least of These...

While in His mortal sojurn on earth Jesus taught His Apostles that the least of them would also be the greatest among them. To demonstrate it he used an object lesson. The object? A simple child! During His life He showed that He loved the children. However hard it is to love them sometimes, we must remember that He said we must have child-like qualities. So we need to be child-like as we learn and live the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
