Jay D Massey's Baptism

"And now, if the Lamb of God, he being holy, should have need to be baptized by water, to fulfil all righteousness, O then, how much more need have we, being unholy, to be baptized, yea, even by water!" -2 Nephi 31:5

 "And he said unto the children of men: Follow thou me. Wherefore, my beloved brethren, can we follow Jesus save we shall be willing to keep the commandments of the Father?" -2 Nephi 31:10

I was able to see a young boy, Jay D, that made the decision to follow the example of Jesus Christ. At his baptism the spirit was strong, and it was such a humbling experience for me. To see a 9 year old kid pray about the decision to be baptized and follow the prompting he received from the spirit gave me a whole new perspective on the scriptures that tell us to become as little children.

"And said, Verily I say unto you, 

Except ye be converted, and 

become as little children, ye shall 

not enter into the kingdom of heaven." 

-Matthew 18:3

 

I know as we follow the example of Jesus Christ, are baptized and humble ourselves and become like little children we can return back to live with our Heavenly Father.

What can you do to follow the example of Jesus Christ?
