Day 215 The Generational Power of Missionary Work

In Matthew 5.13, Jesus tells his followers that they are the salt of the earth, and in the same sentence offers a warning that savorless salt is good for nothing. Join me in an attempt to be savory salt as I share each day one verse of scripture and one small thought. Perhaps this small daily emphasis can lead to greater savor in your life and ultimately you and I can be savory salt.

Hello, my friends and family, wherever you're listening from, thank you for joining me and know that I'm cheering for your every success. My friends, have you ever thought about the generational impact of missionary work? Welcome to day 215 on our 365 day journey through the Book of Mormon together.

Today, you're going to be reading Alma chapter 39 verses 15 through 19. You will finish that chapter and you'll begin Alma chapter 40 by reading the book of Mormon together. If we look at verse 16, we see something kind of cool about the calling of missionary work.

And I would include here, not just missionary work in terms of the missionaries that wear the name tags, but missionary work through the lens of every member of missionary and all of us being examples, as we talked about yesterday, examples of Jesus Christ here on the earth. Verse 16 says, And now, my son, this was the ministry under which you were called, to declare This is kind of cool because when you think about the conversion process of someone going on a mission, very rarely have I kind of paused personally and thought about what that means generationally. And yet at the same time, I've experienced times in sacrament meeting Makes a lot of money.

And then had a missionary experience and ultimately a conversion to Jesus Christ. My friends, when you think about it through family lines, one conversion, one soul that accepts Jesus Christ has the potential to become many within just two or three generations. Can you imagine the power of missionary work through a generational lens?

Names for the Bible Book of Mormon Doctrine and Covenants Pearl of their children to hear the word at the time of his coming So cool to think about missionary work, not just from one soul here and one soul there, but really literally the hundreds of souls that could be impacted when you consider the generational power of bearing testimony of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. That's all for today my friends. Remember that by small and simple things are great things brought to pass.

Keep it small, keep it simple and always seek to be savory salt. I'll be here tomorrow and I hope you are too.
