3rd Ward

Bishopric message

Dear Brothers & Sister,

We look forward to hearing from Elder James Berg, beginning his service in the Albania Tirana Mission on Monday, May 20th. Please join us for sacrament meeting beginning at 12 pm.

Abinadi’s mission to the people of Noah happened 450 years after Lehi left Jersualem and 470 years before Mormon. His words and influence radically impacted the 2nd half of Nephite history via Alma and the succession of High Priests. His words became Nephite scripture. Yet while he lived he did not see any immediate and tactile results of his actions. Zero converts. Perhaps he only had the satisfaction of knowing he had obeyed God’s will.

Abinadi stood for Jesus Christ even when he stood completely alone. He is my inspiration for “thinking celestial”. God has the ultimate perspective. He magnifies our actions in ways we cannot see. We may never know how obedience and consecrated action will impact temporal and eternal outcomes. Whether today, tomorrow, or in the eternities we choose to think celestial by acting with courage and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ…today. Trusting God and His eternal perspective is enough.

We testify of the great plan of salvation and Christ’s divine role as Messiah. Only through Jesus Christ comes salvation. May the Lord bless you with joy, eternal perspective, and increased spiritual power!

With love,

P3 Bishopric
