I Stand All Amazed

Not a huge blog today.  Just working of Personal Progress and had to read 2 Nephi 2.  I find something new in there every time I read it.  Not necessarily, new...but something that touches me more in depth, I suppose.

So this time it was verse 7.

2:6 “ Behold, he offereth himself a sacrifice for sin, to answer the ends of the law, unto all those who have a broken heart and a contrite spirit; and unto none else can the ends of the law be answered.” I don’t know if on earth, the statement, “...he offereth himself a sacrifice for sin,...” sinks in with as much meaning as it should.  I wonder how I comprehended His offer while in the pre-earth life.  Do I really grasp what he has done for me?  Am I willing to be broken hearted and contrite so that what He did for me, out of love for me, will be of value?  “I stand all amazed at the love Jesus offers me.”    

I love this picture by Liz L. Swindle. It is entitled, Mother.  Christ hugging his mother Mary.
