(Matthew 5:1-16, Luke 6:17-49)
It must be an Elder Wirthlin weekend--Let Your Light So Shine- "If we live the principles of the gospel, we are the fulfillment of the Savior’s pronouncement: “Ye are the light of the world” (Matt. 5:14). And possessing this light, we can shine among our fellowmen through our lives and deeds, influencing them to glorify our Father in Heaven.
Jesus wants every one of us to know him because of the transforming power of that knowledge and because of the indescribable joy it brings into our lives. But the influence of the gospel is to extend beyond each individual. It is to be as a light that dispels the darkness from the lives of those around us. No one of us is saved solely and simply for himself alone, just as no lamp is lighted merely for its own benefit."
On this day we remember the fateful attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941 and are reminded how precious life is. It is not enough just to have the light of the gospel in our lives--we must share the flame and warmth with those around us.
Happy Sabbath!
