He Came Back for Us!

A few weeks ago, one of my classmates posted the following:

Ellie Bake: "He Came Back for Us!"
"The part that stood out to me most this week was the fact that Christ died for all of us, but that when Christ died, he did not leave his apostles, family, friends or any of us alone. Towards the end of Luke 24, Christ appears to his apostles. He explains that he has come back from the dead in peace. He had come to explain that he died so that all could repent and receive a mission on their sins. He teaches them the things that they should teach the people and then blesses them and leaves with power from on high and the gift of the Holy Ghost."

She goes on to say; "I love this. I love that he loves us so much that he came back to give his last instructions to help us. He loves us so much that he wanted to be sure that we would be okay without him. He loves us so much that he taught about the Holy Ghost which could always help us. I just love how perfect of a plan Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ had for US. To help us."

This post made me think of when Doran and I used to run together. He is faster than I am so when we run, he would run ahead and then COME BACK FOR ME, time and time again. He put more miles in that I did just doing this several times until we were done with our route.

The Savior does the same thing! He really did come back for us and He still does. He is constantly giving us comfort, guidance, encouragement and He will do so until we have finished our "route" here on the earth.
