“Not only our eternal salvation depends upon our willingness and capacity to forgive wrongs committed against us. Our joy and satisfaction in this life, and our true freedom, depend upon our doing so. When Christ bade us turn the other cheek, walk the second mile, give our cloak to him who takes our coat, was it to be chiefly out of consideration for the bully, the brute, the thief? Or was it to relieve the one aggrieved of the destructive burden that resentment and anger lay upon us?” GivingJoyTurnsChristWalksDependsEternalCapacitySalvationForgivingLaysCommittedSatisfactionBurdenMilesThis LifeDestructiveConsiderationWillingnessResentmentCheeksThievesCoatsBullyBrutesCloaksTrue FreedomTurn The Other Cheek Author:Marion D.

“Fill your life with service to others. As you lose your life in the service of Father in Heaven’s children, Satan’s temptations lose power in your life. Because your Father in Heaven loves you profoundly, the Atonement of Jesus Christ makes that strength possible. Isn’t it wonderful? Many of you have felt the burden of poor choices, and each of you can feel the elevating power of the Lord’s forgiveness, mercy, and strength.” FeelsChildrenChoicesFatherJesusHeavenFeltChristLosesPoorLordWonderfulLove YouJesus ChristMercyBurdenTemptationSatanAtonementService To OthersFather In HeavenElevatingPoor Choices Author:Richard G.

“Christ took hold of the work of the world's saving in a larger way than it is possible for us to do, and therefore the burden of His undertaking came upon Him in a heavier, wider, and more crushing way than it can come upon us; and therefore, while it overwhelmed Him in sorrow, our smaller mission and lighter task can with entire propriety leave us buoyant and gladsome.” WorldWayChristSorrowTasksBurdenMissionsSavingCrushOverwhelmedFridayUndertakingsLightersProprietyGood Friday Author:Charles Henry Parkhurst
“Had He not emerged from the tomb all our hopes, all our salvation would be lying dead with Him unto this day. But as we see Him issue from the grave we see ourselves issue with Him in newness of life. Now we know that His shoulders were strong enough to bear the burden that was laid upon them, and that He is able to save to the uttermost all that come unto God through Him. The resurrection of Christ is thus the indispensable evidence of His completed work, His accomplished redemption.” KnowsEnoughWould BeAbleLyingStrongChristIssuesBearsEvidenceSalvationBurdenGravesShouldersRedemptionAccomplishedThis DayResurrectionIndispensableEasterStrong EnoughTombsNewnessNewness Of LifeCompleted Work Author:B.

“Any tear shed in sharing the heartbeat of God, any tear shed through Christlike loving empathy with our fellowmen, any tear born of the yearning constraint of the Holy Spirit is a tear by which we serve the Lord. Nothing pleases Christ more than for us to share with Him His burden for the world and its people. Nothing so weds us to the heart of Christ as our tears shed as we intercede for lost ones with Him. Then truly we become people after God's own heart. Then we begin to know what it is to be Christ's prayer partners.” PeopleKnowsWorldHeartSpiritLostChristBornPrayerLordShareTearsHolyPleaseEmpathyBurdenPartnersHoly SpiritYearningShedHeartbeatConstraintsLost Ones Author:Wesley L Duewel
