Disciples of Christ, Testimonies from Missionaries

I’m excited to share another missionary post! This testimony comes from Sister Clifford who is serving her mission in Utah, USA.

Testimony from a Missionary

What is one name of Jesus Christ that is meaningful to you?

“Redeemer”.

“Redeemer” is one of the main names of Jesus used throughout the scriptures.

Through Jesus Christ and His Atonement, there is always hope. There is always a chance to start again—to feel joy in a journey where we will make mistakes and have times where we falter. But as we put our faith in Him, we know we always have someone in our corner who is always patiently waiting to receive us, lift us back up, and walk with us along the difficult path of life.

Do you know anyone with a scar?

I have a few. The most noticeable one is a straight line across my elbow. I got the scar after a nasty bike accident. I lost control of my bike while going down hill, flipped over the top of my handlebars, and landed directly on my elbow.

Happy Easter everyone!

In the days leading up to Easter this year, I’ve appreciated all the reminders of Jesus Christ, our Savior, and the ultimate sacrifice that He made for us. Because of Him, we will be saved for both death and hell. Jesus Christ gives us salvation!

Recently I heard a talk on Amulek’s sermon in Alma chapter 34. I keep finding myself coming back to its beautiful message. It is quickly becoming one of my favorite chapters of scripture. Normally, I like to break up quotes into smaller chunks, but I really wanted to share Amulek’s testimony as a whole. So please resist the urge to skip the long block of text and take a moment to soak in his testimony of the Savior.

Names of Christ

“He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.”
1 John 4:8

Whether or not the scriptures ever officially used it as one of His names, Jesus Christ is the embodiment of Love. During His earthly ministry, love filled everything He did and said. He commanded us to love God and our neighbor. He told parables of forgiveness, selflessness, and reconciliation. He healed and lifted and befriended everywhere He went. And then His life ended with the greatest manifestation of love, as He gave up His mortal life so that all of us can one day have Eternal Life.

Names of Christ

Who is Jesus Christ? He has many, many names. One of those is “Advocate with the Father”.

“3 Listen to him who is the advocate with the Father, who is pleading your cause before him—

4 Saying: Father, behold the sufferings and death of him who did no sin, in whom thou wast well pleased; behold the blood of thy Son which was shed, the blood of him whom thou gavest that thyself might be glorified;

5 Wherefore, Father, spare these my brethren that believe on my name, that they may come unto me and have everlasting life.”
Doctrine and Covenant 45:3-5
