An Easter Thought From My Visiting Teachers

Have I mentioned lately how much I enjoy my Visiting Teachers? On Saturday, my visiting teachers stopped by with a little surprise. These adorable lambs are made out of cupcakes.


Here is the handout that accompanied these delicious and adorable, tiny treats.

"Jesus, as the unblemished or sinless lamb whose bones could not be broken, died so that spiritual death might 'pass over' those who come unto Him. As the blood of the first Passover sacrifice was spread on the doors of each Israelite home, so too did the blood of Christ flow upon the wood of the cross. The Gospel of John suggests that Passover began at sunset the day Jesus was crucified. In this scenario the pashal lambs, which were sacrificed before the beginning of Passover so that they would be ready in time for the eal, would have been sacrified in the temple at the very time that Jesus was dying on the cross - sometime between 3-5 p.m. "

Your Challenge - recommit yourself to studying the scriptures daily and immerse in them so you will have the power of the Spirit to attend to your needs and help you attend to others around you.

Your Promise - knowledge that will bring you peace and help you focus your energies on eternal principles.

Thank you, Visiting Teachers, for feeding me spiritually and just being my friends!
