Our Personal Savior

Understanding Our Relationship with Christ

Elder Teh discusses the importance of not just knowing about Jesus Christ, but having a personal relationship with Him. He shares his own journey of coming to know Christ more intimately and emphasizes that knowing the Savior should be the most important pursuit of our lives.

I am realizing that how intimately I know the Savior significantly influences my ability to hear Him as well as how I respond.

First, we need to recognize that knowing the Savior is the most important pursuit of our lives. It should take priority over anything else.

• What does it mean to you to "know" the Savior?
• How has your relationship with Christ influenced your ability to hear Him and respond to His teachings?
• Why is knowing the Savior the most important pursuit of our lives?
• What steps can you take to know the Savior more intimately?
• How can you prioritize your relationship with Christ in your daily life?
• What changes might you need to make in your life to better hear and respond to Christ's teachings?

Embracing the Personal Nature of Christ's Atonement

Elder Teh discusses the personal significance of Christ's Atonement in our lives. He emphasizes that the Atonement is not just a general principle, but has personal and individual effects. Through His Atonement, Christ has the power to cleanse, heal, and strengthen us individually.

The Atonement of Jesus Christ is infinite and eternal and all-encompassing in its breadth and depth but wholly personal and individual in its effects.

Because of His atoning sacrifice, the Savior has power to cleanse, heal, and strengthen us one by one.

• What does it mean to you that Christ's Atonement is "wholly personal and individual in its effects"?
• How has the Atonement of Jesus Christ personally affected your life?
• Why is it important to understand the personal nature of Christ's Atonement?
• How can you better embrace the personal nature of Christ's Atonement in your life?
• What experiences have you had where you felt the personal effects of Christ's Atonement?
• How can understanding the Atonement better help you in your personal struggles?

Learning from Scriptures and Prophets

Elder Teh discusses the role of scriptures and prophets in coming to know Christ. He emphasizes that as we come to know the Savior, scriptural passages and the words of the prophets become intimately meaningful to us. They help us to understand Christ's teachings and His Atonement in our own unique way.

As we are increasingly coming to know the Savior, scriptural passages and the words of the prophets become so intimately meaningful to us that they become our own words.

It is not about copying the words, feelings, and experiences of others as much as it is coming to know for ourselves, in our own unique way, by experimenting upon the word and receiving a witness from the Holy Ghost.

• How have scriptures and the words of the prophets helped you in coming to know Christ?
• What does it mean to you to "experiment upon the word"?
• Why is it important to have a personal understanding and witness of Christ's teachings and His Atonement?
• How can you make the words of the scriptures and the prophets more meaningful in your personal study?
• What steps can you take to "experiment upon the word" in your daily life?
• How can you seek a personal witness from the Holy Ghost of Christ's teachings and His Atonement?

Seeking Jesus Christ

Elder Teh invites us to seek Jesus Christ and promises that doing so will increase our ability to turn away from sin and our desire to keep the commandments. He encourages us to rise above spiritual challenges and embrace the love of Christ and Heavenly Father.

The prophet Moroni invited us: "And now, I would commend you to seek this Jesus of whom the prophets and apostles have written."

President Russell M. Nelson promised that "if [we] proceed to learn all [we] can about Jesus Christ, … [our] ability to turn away from sin will increase. [Our] desire to keep the commandments will soar."

On this Easter Sunday, just as the Savior came forth from His stone grave, may we awake from our spiritual slumber and rise above the clouds of doubt, the clutches of fear, the intoxication of pride, and the lull of complacency.
