The Gospel of Jesus Christ teaches that all get what they truly desire. C.S Lewis powerfully illustrated this in the Chronicles of Narnia.

Family is central to our Heavenly Father. To be the most successful in our earthly families, we must follow this pattern and keep family central in our lives.

A few temple connections will help us better understand the covenants of the temple, in general, and the initiatory ordanances sepecifically.

One of the defining aspects of the character of Christ is that He is "slow to anger and long-suffering, and of a forgiving disposition, and does forgive iniquity, transgression, and sin."

The Chronicles of Narnia present Aslan as a big scary lion, who is the kindest, most loving creature. Likewise, we love Christ and are afraid of Him at the same time.

We each belong to 3 families: The Family of God the Father; the Family of Christ; and our earthly families. To make the third one eternal, we must fully embrace the first two.

Our journey through mortality includes traveling through the telestial and terrestrial worlds. To enter the celestial world, we must let go of all things telestial and terrestrial. In the temple, we find help to leave the terrestrial world and enter the celestial.

As we begin our study of the characher of Christ, we start with the grand reality that He is the great I AM.

To enter the Terrestrial World, we must let go of all things Telestial. Then to enter the Celestial World, we must let go of all things Terrestrial.

Grief can turn us to God or turn us against Him.
