The Most Exciting Phrase
In my own perhaps-not-so-humble opinion THE most exciting phrase is: I KNOW.
Remember when you were in elementary school? Remember when the teacher would ask a question about your homework? Remember that child that always had the right answer. What did she do? She would always raise her hand and yell, "I know, I know".
I have that same energy when I say, "I know". Except I can't jump up and down like a child. So many people have doubts today. Many people don't see the evidences that I see. I feel it important to quote from a well known hymn of the Church of Jesus Christ of latter-day Saints. This hymn exemplifies my feelings exactly.
I Know That My Redeemer Lives
I know that my Redeemer lives.
What comfort this sweet sentence gives!
He lives, he lives, who once was dead.
He lives my ever-living Head.
He lives to bless me with his love.
He lives to plead for me above.
He lives my hungry soul to feed.
He lives to bless in time of need.
He lives to grant me rich supply.
He lives to guide me with his eye.
He lives to comfort me when faint.
He lives to hear my soul's complaint.
He lives to silence all my fears.
He lives to wipe away my tears.
He lives to calm my troubled heart.
He lives all blessings to impart.
He lives, my kind, wise heav'nly Friend.
He lives and loves me to the end.
He lives and while he lives, I'll sing.
He lives, my Prophet, Priest, and King.
He lives and grants me daily breath,
He lives and I shall conquer death.
He lives my mansion to prepare.
He lives to bring me safely there.
He lives! All glory to his name!
He lies, my Savior, still the same.
Oh, sweet the joy this sentence gives.
"I know that my Redeemer lives!"
He lives! All glory to his name!
He lives, my Savior, still the same.
Oh, sweet the joy this sentence gives.
"I know that my Redeemer lives!"
How can anyone doubt it?
Our Lord and Savior came into this world to fulfill all righteousness. He was born of an earthly, mortal woman and an exalted Man, who we call Heavenly Father. He was baptized by John the Baptist to fulfill all righteousness. He suffered in Gethsemane and on the cross at Calvary to fulfill all righteousness. He rose again to provide resurrection to every person who had lived on this earth, who lives on this earth, and who will ever live on this earth. He paid the price to expunge every sin, every illness, every disability, every disease that has ever or will ever afflict Heavenly Father's children. "He lives and loves us to the end." If only each of us would acknowledge Jesus Christ's sacrifice and exercise enough faith, Satchmo's "What a wonderful world" would be ever more obvious.
This is my testimony
In the most worthy name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
