"To the duty designated by His Father, [the Savior] turned His face, pledged His heart, and gave His life. And what a sinless, selfless, noble, and divine life it was. Jesus labored. Jesus loved. Jesus served. Jesus testified. What finer example could we strive to emulate? Let us begin now, this very night, to do so. Cast off forever will be the old self and with it defeat, despair, doubt, and disbelief. To a newness of life we come—a life of faith, hope, courage, and joy. No task looms too large; no responsibility weighs too heavily; no duty is a burden. All things become possible."—Thomas S. Monson
I am very thankful for Jesus Christ. He has set the perfect example for everyone! I know that as we strive to follow His example that he has set for us by Laboring, Loving, Serving, and Testifying of His infinite greatness, we can become closer to Him and be a Light for others.
One of my favorite scriptures in the Book of Mormon about Christ-like attributes is Alma 7:23-24;
"And now I would that ye should be humble, and be submissive and gentle; easy to be entreated; full of patience and long-suffering; being temperate in all things; being diligent in keeping the commandments of God at all times; asking for whatsoever things ye stand in need, both spiritual and temporal; always returning thanks unto God for whatsoever things ye do receive. And see that ye have faith, hope, and charity, and then ye will always abound in good works."We should all aspire to become Christ-like, it may take time, but can you imagine the difference in the world if we all lived as Christ would? How would that feel?
I know that as we all take that step forward to become more like our Savior, we will become examples to others, your life will be blessed, and it will continue on in a domino effect with others. "No task looms too large; no responsibility weighs too heavily; no duty is a burden. All things become possible."
It may take time, but all things come to pass.
