The Source

 

Jesus Christ is the source and the light.  He is the source we need to look to to become clean from sin and guilt.  He is the source we need to look to find answers to all our questions.  He is the source of all happiness, peace, hope, and joy.  He is the light of this world.   He is the light that banishes the darkness of uncertainty, doubt, loneliness, despair, and heartache.  He is the light that illuminates the path and the source we need to look to in order to return home to our loving Heavenly Father.  He is the source and light of life.

In the Book of Mormon in 2 Nephi 25:26 it reads, "And we talk of Christ, we rejoice in Christ, we preach of Christ, we prophesy of Christ, and we write according to our prophecies, that our children may know to what source they may look for a remission of their sins."

Only through Jesus Christ and His Atonement can we be forgiven of all our sins and our guilt and shame for past mistakes we have made can be swept away.  He is the source of forgiveness and through Him our burdens can be lightened.  It is so important to always focus on Christ because it is only through Him than we can become clean and worthy to live with Heavenly Father and our families for eternity.

And in 3 Nephi 15:9 it reads, "Behold, I am the law, and the light.  Look unto me, and endure to the end, and ye shall live; for unto him that endureth to the end will I give eternal life."

Jesus Christ is also  the light.  Through Him we can truly see ourselves and others.  With His help we can see through the darkness of the world around us and see the path we need to take to return home to God.  He is the source of light, hope, love, faith, strength, and confidence that we need in order to navigate this world back to Heavenly Father.  I am so grateful to our wonderful Savior, Jesus Christ, who has lighted the way we must go to find true happiness in this life.
