THE ATONEMENT IS THE SEED

Page 518 of ‘Jesus the Christ’ explains that Certain Greeks were visiting Christ.

To them Jesus testified that the hour of his death was near at hand. They were surprised and asked why there must be a sacrifice.

His answer was profound and was likened unto a seed.  “Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone; but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.”

After thinking about this…I thought….So therefore, if the fruit stay on the branch it will just stay there alone and do nothing good.

But if it falls to the ground and is sacrificed into a seed, it may be buried into the soil for a time but it will multiply and prosper and increase into another tree and more.

Christ had to be sacrificed for the Universe (us) to multiply and prosper and increase.

Therefore, we must be buried in toil (not soil) for us to sacrifice our time unto the Lord in his service so that we may multiply and prosper and increase.

It is founded upon a UNIVERSAL PRINCIPLE.                            -Patti Miner

 Brad Wilcox Book “The Continuous Atonement” quotes:

• I’ve been told the gospel is here to comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable.
• We have a Savior who covers us, a Redeemer who changes us and a Good Shepherd who is willing to go in search of us again and again continuously.
• The new Priest who had to say the prayer over and over and over again – so even though the Sacrament prayers had to be perfect, and that expectation could not be lowered, the priest was given a 2^nd chance, and a 3^rd and as many times as it took.
• Most have heard that you have to do your best and once you’ve done your best, Christ makes up the difference…He doesn’t just make up the difference…He makes ALL the difference. He requires us to repent, but not just as part of paying justice – only as part of helping us to change.
• The Atonement cannot be used up, it doesn’t run out or expire. There is nothing on it that says ‘Best used by this date’ It will always be in force in our lives.
• Were the 5000 that Christ fed ever hungry again? Was the sea calmed by Christ’s hand stirred by future storms? Yes  Repentance is a process. It is continuous.
