Read It!

There are many nights Superman falls asleep long before I do...So I usually spend a few hours reading on my Kindle app...It takes 30 seconds to down load a book and since I pay the credit card bill every month, nobody notices my book addiction expenses :)

 

Last week I downloaded "The Continuous Atonement" by Brad Wilcox. I remember him from my EFY(Especially for Youth) days 25 years ago....

 

What an AWESOME book and a wonderful perspective on the Atonement and the love our Heavenly Father has for us...

 

 

 

 

{What is the Atonement of Jesus Christ?

The Atonement is the sacrifice Jesus Christ made to help us overcome sin, adversity, and death. Jesus’s atoning sacrifice took place in the Garden of Gethsemane and on the cross at Calvary. He paid the price for our sins, took upon Himself death, and was resurrected. The Atonement is the supreme expression of the love of Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ}

A favourite part....

 

"The sacrament prayers have to be given word-perfect. Everyone knows that. But when the priest flubs it, what happens? Even though the expectation of perfection cannot be lowered, the person giving the prayer gets a second chance, and a third, and a fourth, if he needs them. No matter how many mistakes he makes along the way, when he does finally get it right, the outcome is counted as perfect and acceptable."

"God, like the bishop, cannot lower the standard that we ultimately become perfect,"....."but He can give us many opportunities to start again. . . . Perfection is our long-term goal, but for now our goal is progress in that direction - continues progress that is possible only through the continuous Atonement"

 

-Brad Wilcox

 

Just start again...Progress in the right direction...that I can do :)
