A breath of fresh air

For me, the seminar last Friday served as a breath of fresh air to my spiritual lungs. It reminded me of the main purpose for my Christian faith, the story of Jesus. Without this story, I would have no purpose and direction in life. Without it, I would be nothing.
By stepping into the disciples’ shoes, who complied the story from memory and testimony, I was awakened to the importance of not only getting the message out, but getting it right. Therefore, the activity has really helped me to understand how the Gospel writers had to lean on the guidance of the Holy Spirit for inspiration, because writing the story on our own is incredibly difficult! It also helped me to see how different accounts of Jesus may differ but the message is still the same. Jesus came, lived, and died all in the Father’s Name so that we might know Him and live a life that is pleasing to God. This is the message that the world needs to here and I believe that we did a good job of getting that message together.
