My name's Camille
and I'd like to share my favorite verse, verses I guess
of The Book of Mormon with you. My favorites verses from The Book of Mormon
actually are found in the Bible as well, so if any of you followers here
are familiar with the Bible, these verses won't be new to you.
In the Bible they're found in Isaiah 53, in The Book of Mormon
we find them in Mosiah chapter 14.
And my favorite verses in chapter 14 are
verses 4 and 5 and we're talking about
Christ here: "Surely he hath borne our griefs and carried our sorrows
yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God and afflicted
but he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our
iniquities
the chastisement of our peace was upon Him
and with his stripes we are healed.
The moment that I knew that Christ was real
and that he knew me and that his atonement was personal,
and it was for me, was the day
that I read these verses in the Bible.
I felt Christ so close to me and
I just felt heartbroken that He had done those things -
but so grateful that He had.
And the day that I knew that The Book of Mormon was the word of God
was the day that I realized that the Book of Mormon has the same message
I read this in the Book of Mormon and just like I had read it in the Bible I felt
that Spirit of Christ so close to me
and I knew that the message of The Book of Mormon was the same
as the message of the Bible - that Christ is "The Christ"
that He's the Messiah, He's our Savior, He's there for us and He lives.
And...that's the moment that I knew that
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
was speaking the truth, and that
it was my path to Christ, was through this church.
and I just wanna share my testimony of this
that Christ is real, Christ knows us, and his atonement is for us, personally
and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is just that,
The Church of Jesus Christ
and I say these things in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
