8 Day Walk With Christ

We had an awesome Easter Lesson (Thanks Desi!) yesterday and our teacher challenged us to take an 8 Day Walk with Christ, and i thought i could share it with you so that you can do it as well.   i will post Day One here, and Day two in another post, and so on. 

First we got this nifty little package, tied with twine.  When you untie the twine, there are labeled envelopes on the bottom, one for each day. 

Then when you open the box, you find that there are 8 Easter Eggs inside, each labeled with a day of the week and a description of what that Day means.

In order to take this Walk With Christ, you open one egg and one envelope every day. 



Yesterday, Easter Sunday, was Day one, Day of Recognition: Today I will think of Christ more often and make my prayers more meaningful that I may come to know Him better.  The slips of paper inside the Day one Egg said:  "Jesus Christ rides through the city gates at Jerusalem and is greeted by followers, waving Palm Fronds as a welcome to their King.  He visits the Temple. 

Read Matthew 21: 6-11 

Thought: Would we be one of those who cheered as Christ rode into the city or would we have been one of those who asked, 'Who is this?'  How well do you know the Savior? 

Day One Envelope: What it Means to Know Christ

A man passed away and was resurrected and waiting in a room to be interviewed.  Another man was ahead of him.  The door opened, the man entered, the door closed.  The interviewer began, "I want you to tell me what you know about Jesus Christ."

"Well, He was born of a virgin in Bethlehem; He lived thirty-three years, spending the last three in His ministry, organizing His Church, choosing His apostles to direct it, giving the Gospel to direct our lives."

The interviewer stopped him and said, "Yes, yes, that's all true, but I want you to tell me what you know about Jesus Christ."

"Well, He was tortured and crucified that we might have eternal life.  Three days later He was resurrected that we might return to our Heavenly Father."

"Yes, yes, that is true, but i want you to tell me what you know about Jesus Christ."

The man, a little perplexed, began again: "Well He restored the Gospel in it's fullness to the Earth through Joseph Smith, reorganized His Church, gave us Temples wherein we might do work to save our dead.  He gave us family prayer and Family Home Evening where we might unite with our families.  He gave us the Priesthood to heal the sick and personal ordinances for our salvation and exaltation."

The interviewer again stopped him and said, "All of what you have said to me is true."  The man was then invited to leave the room.  After he left, the door opened and the second man entered.  As he approached the interviewer, he fell upon his knees and cried, "My Lord, My God!"
