Christ Will Walk With Us

 

Walking in Covenant Relationship with Christ

By President Emily Belle Freeman

Just as He did for Jacob, the Lord will answer each of us in our day of distress if we choose to tether our life with His. He has promised to walk with us in the way....

As your trail will demand, so His succor will be.

His is a mission of condescension. Jesus Christ will meet us where we are as we are. This is the why of the garden, the cross, and the tomb. The Savior was sent to help us overcome.¹⁵ But staying where we are won’t bring the deliverance we seek. Just as He didn’t leave Jacob there in the dirt, the Lord doesn’t intend to leave any of us where we are.

His is also a mission of ascension. He will work within us¹⁶ to lift us up to where He is and, in the process, enable us to become as He is. Jesus Christ came to lift us.¹⁷ He wants to help us become. This is the why of the temple.

We must remember: it’s not the course alone that will exalt us; it’s the companion—our Savior. And this is the why of covenant relationship....

As we share our personal experience with Christ, we will strengthen personal devotion.
