Heavenly Father and Jesus care about me and will help me during hard times. When I face adversity, God does not forsake me.
Audio – Paul Finishes His Mission – A teacher and primary children talk about the final mission of the Apostle Paul. Much like the Savior, Paul knew that he was returning to Jerusalem for the last time and that he was going to be killed. Paul spent his final moments on earth bearing his testimony and expressing his love for Heavenly Father and Jesus. In the end, he was called upon to give his life because of his faith in the Savior. As members of Christ’s Church we are not asked to die for Jesus, but He has asked us to lose our lives in His service. This means that we should always think of Him and love and serve others as He would.
