Becoming Friends with The Savior with Lizzy Jensen

Have you ever wanted to feel a deeper friendship with Jesus Christ? To not only know about Him, but to really know Him? Today's episode explores the idea that knowing the Savior and really understanding who He is takes more than being familiar with the facts about His life. And when we truly come to know Jesus Christ as not just a figure, but a friend, we are changed.

"He is calling and saying, 'I've got something better.'"

A few months ago, Lizzy Jensen shared that she felt a hunger to get to know the Savior. In fact, she wrote, “I want to know Him. I want to have a closer relationship with Him. I want to think like Him and act like Him.” She decided to study the Savior in a way that would foster a closer relationship with him. She calls it #SaviorSundayStudies. We were inspired by her idea to become friends with Jesus Christ—to truly know him and not just know about him.

Top takeaways from this episode

Getting to know the Savior takes acting as his hands and serving others around you.

Sometimes, it is uncomfortable to represent the Savior, but it is always worth bringing his light to others.

He is never disappointed in us, and wants us to follow him so that we can have his joy.

Spending time with him will change us for the better.

Small and simple suggestion

Kneel down in prayer and ask the Lord to help you feel that he is calling to you and that you matter to him. Then ask how you can serve and be his hands. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
