Sunday Afternoon Session
Remember, Remember
Elder Chi Hong (Sam) Wong
Of the Seventy
Every promise of redemption, every hope of resurrection, and every assurance of eternal life flows through Jesus Christ.
Overview
Elder Chi Hong (Sam) Wong invites us to use the Book of Mormon as a built-in reminder system to "remember, remember" Jesus Christ and what God wants us to keep in mind, especially at Easter. He highlights five Book of Mormon passages that connect obedience to promised blessings, warn of being cut off from God’s presence through disobedience, place salvation squarely in the Atonement of Jesus Christ, teach that building on Christ through covenants makes us steady in spiritual storms, and emphasize that God has given us knowledge and agency to choose wisely.
Three Key Takeaways
- 1God repeatedly ties real blessings, temporal and spiritual, to keeping His commandments and enduring faithfully to the end.
- 2Salvation and a return to Heavenly Father come only through the atoning blood of Jesus Christ; without Him there is no victory over sin and death.
- 3We secure a “sure foundation” against the devil’s storms by building on Jesus Christ and regularly receiving, reviewing, remembering, and renewing sacred covenants.
Reflection Questions
- Which commandment feels most like a stabilizing “string” for you right now, and what happens in your life when you loosen your hold on it?
- As you study the Book of Mormon this week, what does it teach you specifically about relying on the Atonement and Resurrection of Jesus Christ in your current situation?
- Where do you feel most vulnerable to spiritual “winds” or “storms,” and what covenant practice (receive, review, remember, renew) would strengthen your foundation on Christ?
Application Prompt
Choose one of the five “remember, remember” passages from the talk, read it each day this week, and write one concrete action it calls you to take that day to come unto Jesus Christ.
