READ THIS PARTHere is an insight I gained about the Savior this week:
D&C 101
39 When men are called unto mine everlasting gospel, and covenant with an everlasting covenant, they are accounted as the salt of the earth and the savor of men;
Because of this scripture, we know that when the Savior mentions the salt of the earth He is reffering to His covenant people.
Luke 14
34 ¶ Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be seasoned?
As I read this verse in Luke 14 it struck me how similar the word "savor" is to the word "Savior".
Here is a rewritten version of verse 34: 'If the salt (The covenant people of the Lord) has losts its Savior, wherewith shall it be seasoned?'
As His covenant people, if the things we do and focuses of our lives are void of the Savior, then they have no savor. No meaning. He is what makes life rich, plentiful and flavorful!
2 Nephi 11
"...all things which have been given of God from the beginning of the world, unto man, are the typifying of Him"
Everything around us testifies of Him. If we rigorously open our eyes and see, we will discover that "he is in the sun, and the light of the sun, and the power thereof by which it was made. As also he is in the moon, and is the light of the moon, and the power thereof by which it was made. As also the light of the stars, and the power thereof by which they were made; And the earth also, and the power thereof, even the earth upon which you stand." (D&C 88: 7-10)
As I have had these moments of acknowledgement of the Savior more throughout my days, I have discovered this scripture to be true:
Isaiah 49
10 They shall not hunger nor thirst; neither shall the heat nor sun smite them: for he that hath mercy on them shall lead them, even by the springs of water shall he guide them.
It is very hot here in Taiwan. When the sun smites us, the knowledge that the Savior is in the sun changes everything. When I drink water it is an opportunity to remember Him. That is what gives life meaning. Having the Savior allows us to experience lifes savor :)
