Never Forget Christ

Dear Kids,

There is a comedian who is going to start a 'Messiah Complex' tour around the world. He is a stand up comedian, very intelligent and completely sacrilegious. He is an extremely likable guy, I actually really like him as a person, he is surprisingly one of the most 'self-actualized' stars... yet he uses his very well developed interpersonal skills to spread the filth of the world. During his shows he will be very effective with his comedy, and yet be desecrating the name of Christ along the way.

When did all of this change about how we use the name of Christ? How has this happened? Oh how it hurts my heart to think of all the ways He is mocked, used and spit upon STILL. Yet, He loves back no matter what. Our world has almost completely forgotten the meaning of the Atonement.

Well, not in this house.

Let me be very clear - Christ is the reason for everything. The very light in our eyes comes from Him. The very power we use for living day to day comes because of His Atonement. I will preach this to you over and over and over again. I will NEVER deny Him. I will always stand up for Him. Always.

We are living in those times prophesied of for centuries. We ARE living in the days Isaiah saw. We are tangibly part of the culmination of times. I will work until my last breath for you to know how much I love my Lord, my Savior and my Brother. I will do everything I can to pass this testimony onto you so that you can spread it to the world.

If Christ were to meet this comedian? He would love him. He would invite him to be part of his life. In fact, I think Jesus would have much faster wit than Russell Brand. But just like if Christ were alive today, the way this man is acting would be the same whether Christ was by his side or not. He would be one who would be mocking Christ to his face, sadly enough. The same it is for all of us. Whether you were alive during Christ's day or now, the way you stand up for Him and testify of Him is the same way you would act if He was by your side.

So be a friend of Christ. Uplift His name. Stand up for Him. Love Him. Be ready to hug Him when you see Him again and He opens His arms to you to guide you home. 

I love you,

Your Mom
