The other day we were walking through a Walmart when out of nowhere this lady shouts to us, "Jesus is Lord and Savior!" (southern accent) Recognizing our attire, no doubt, this woman knew who we were.
What went through my mind was first, Why is someone shouting? My second thought was What does she mean? Either she thought we didn't believe in Jesus Christ so it was a quick attempt to save our souls, or she was really excited to see us 'youngins' out spreading the word about Jesus Christ and wanted to add her witness to our own unsung sermon.
We assumed the latter and shouted after her "Yes ma'am! Jesus Christ is Lord and Savior!"
We do believe in Jesus Christ. In fact, that is what our message is all about. We teach people how to come unto Jesus Christ. The same Christ spoken of by the mouth of the apostles in the Bible. The same Christ who died on the cross and was risen three days later. The Christ who atoned for the sins of the world. I know that He lives. I know He is here for us today. Because of that faith in Jesus Christ I know that the heavens are still open. Jesus Christ's church is here today functioning under His direction through a living prophet Thomas S. Monson. That is our message to the world. I have prayed for myself to know. Will you pray to know that the Church of Jesus Christ is on the earth today?
Exciting things happen in Walmart when you're Mormon.
