"For behold, I say unto you there be many things to come; and behold, there is one thing which is of more importance than they all—for behold, the time is not far distant that the Redeemer liveth and cometh among his people."
Alma 7:7
It's pretty amazing to think that of all the events in history, Christ's life was the most important. It makes sense, because if not for that, even the great act of creation itself would have ended in disaster. It is the event that brings all other events together and helps them to make sense.
Even though Christ's life is in the past rather than the future for us, we can give it the importance that it deserves by taking time to consider the importance of the event in our own lives, and to honor Christ's sacrifice with some appropriate sacrifices of our own, such as a broken heart and a contrite spirit--a willingness to follow the commandments and to repent and change.
Today, let's honor Christ's sacrifice by taking advantage of the opportunities that he gave us to learn and grow and to prepare to return to God's presence.
