Man's Greatest Work


    One of the greatest opportunities that we have been given in this life is to serve our fellow man. There are all sorts of people around us that could use a helping hand, an ear to listen, a shoulder to cry on, or even an approaching smile. There are many instances in my life where I could have, or did, receive a small act of service from one person or another. There are many instances where I have been given the opportunity to do that myself. I was recently able to help a family pack up and move. Boxes needed to be made, clothes needed to be organized, blankets needed to be folded, and the list went on. Though they are packing up, they have yet to find a place to move to… I found as I was helping them, that I could look into each of their eyes and recognize them as a child of God. I all of a sudden began to realize that nothing that I could be doing at that moment was more important.
     There is a great saying in the Book of Mormon that says “when ye are in the service of your fellow beings, ye are only in the service of your God.” (Mosiah 2:17, pg 148) It is through service that we can perform the greatest work that mankind can do, and that is to serve God.

This Sunday is a great day in which we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Might I invite you to remember Him always, but to especially remember the meaning of Easter.

     Matthew 22:31-32. Christ's response to the Sadducees' question, who claimed that there is no life after death, proclaims, "Have yes not read that which was spoken unto you by God, saying, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the LIVING." It has always been God's plan for us to live after this temporary state which we call morta...lity. But it is through Christ, and ONLY through him, that our lives are mercifully handed back to us. We celebrate Easter in remembrance of the resurrection of Jesus Christ, our Savior, who overcame death so that we could too. Might I humbly give thanks to Him who gave me life, to Him which only asks of me to have faith, that I might have eternal life.
