Come unto Christ

"Good morning dear family and friends,

This week has been solid!! Our friend Br. Arnold accepted to be baptised on the 12 March 2016 and on Sunday he came to church and loved it. He has already started smoking less and less and is really  excited for his baptism!!!

In Matthew 14 our Saviour and Redeemer once walked on water unto His disciples and said unto them "Fear not, be of good cheer. It is I". What comforting words, to know that the Saviour will come unto us and tell us to not fear, but that He is coming. Will we be like Peter though?

Peter then cried to the Master, "master if it be thou, bid me onto the water," Peter showed his faith in Lord by asking Him to ask him to come onto the water. To do something that no normal person would do. Would you do the same? Would you ask the Saviour to help you do something that no other human has ever done?

The Master then bided Peter onto the water and as Peter watched Christ and walked unto Him, he feared not, rather remembered the words of the Master "Fear not, be of good cheer, it is I". Peter walking with faith and his full concentration focused on the Saviour walked unto Him on water. Would you trust the Lord enough to do something that no other human has done before?

As Peter then noticed that he was doing something that no other human had ever done before, he feared for his life and starting to loose full focus on the Saviour and started focussing on himself and the World. He then cried out to the Master, "Lord, save me". Peter still knew that Christ was the Master, the Saviour and Redeemer of the World, so he asked Him to save him. With this cry of faith, the Master stretched out His arm and helped Peter back to the boat.

He also added these few words "O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?" The same question I ask to you, wherefore did you doubt? Why do we as humans doubt that the Saviour can keep us safe? Peter knew who the Saviour was and is. He met with Him, ate with Him, listened to His teachings, walked with Him and many more things, yet he still doubted.

Unfortunately, we don't have this opportunity what Peter had to be with the Saviour, but we can surely find out if He is there. We just need to do what Peter did. Cry unto the Lord "if it be thou, bid me to come unto thou." If Christ is really in our lives, cry unto Him in prayer and ask Him to bid you unto Him. He will give you a clear answer that He lives and loves you. He is my Saviour, He is your
Saviour. He gave His life, so we could be able to live in His and our Heavenly Fathers presence once again.

I love you all my family and friends. Come unto Christ and be perfected in Him (Moroni  10:32)

Have a great week.
