The visiting teaching message for the month of February 2015 was to teach my Sisters about the sinlessness of Jesus and how we should be following him. I felt it was a daunting task. How can I teach about trying to be like Jesus Christ, who was perfect, when I am so far from it myself? Immediately, an example came in to my mind as I read the lesson:
In preschool, children are given supplies by the teacher and then shown an example of what their project should look like. They try their hardest to make their art look like the teacher's perfect example. Their finished projects often barely resemble the teacher's. But when they take them home their parents still love them and hang them on the fridge. So, too, it is with us. Jesus Christ is the perfect example that we strive to become. We try our hardest but the finished project of our lives when we leave this Earth barely resembles the example of Christ. Yet, when we return to our Heavenly Father he still loves us and sticks us on the fridge.
