This week I would like to tell a story about Eric. This story about Eric took place hundreds of years ago, about 420 years before Jesus Christ came to earth. Eric loves to hunt! Since he loves to hunt he thought he would go to his favorite forest to hunt in. As Eric was out hunting he admired the many things in the outdoors, the trees and the birds singing, the slow trickling water running in the bottom of the valley. He decided to stop and think about how all these things were made, and how they all moved so perfectly without anything making them move.
Eric's dad was just a good man! In fact a prophet of the Lord Jesus Christ! He loved the Savior and tried to teach his family and all those around him about Christ. He helped other whenever he could. He taught his son, Eric, many of the things which were to come and how believing in Christ can help him.
While Eric was hunting in his favorite forest, he pondered the many things that his father taught him. He thought long and hard about how it applied to him. He decided to kneel down and pray to his Heavenly Father. As he did he had what he called a wrestle before god. He went back and fourth about the things his father taught and how they can really help him. This is what the spirit taught him! The spirit taught him: How to repent and as he did it, he felt the spirit testify that he was forgiven. After he was forgiven he asked the Lord, "Lord how is it done?" And the Lord said "because of they faith in Christ whom you have never seen." He learned that it was because the Lord will come and atone for his sins, like he has done now for us all! After Eric learned this, he decided that he wanted to help all others feel the same thing he did!
This is one of my favorite scriptures "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." This is too my testimony and my purpose! To help others come unto Him and come to know him just as these children are coming to know Him!
We too can have this same experience. We can all share this experience as well! It is fun to share what you know about Jesus Christ and what he has done for you and your friends! Jesus Christ loves us all! He really died for us and after all that has been said the most important Knowledge of Christ is, That he lives! I know he does! He wants us all to return and enjoy life with him!
