President Clark quoted 2 Corinthians 3:3 during our Christmas Devotional. It says "Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart."
I love this scripture. As Christmas comes to us tomorrow, I've been thinking about my testimony of the birth and divinity of Jesus Christ. I can write, say, and think I have a testimony, but where true testimony is written is in the "fleshy tables of the heart". Our experiences and acceptance of the Atonement of Jesus Christ allow us to truly feel our testimony. To know with a surety that He was born, died, and rose again. There are many things I do not know, but one thing is written in the fleshy tables of my heart. That is that Jesus of Nazareth is the Son of the Living God, that He was born to Mary in Bethlehem, that He died for our sins and afflictions, and that he conquered death on the third day. Nothing can make me deny that. I know it to be true because of the experiences I've had.
Merry Christmas everyone!
Elder Poulsen
