Jesus Christ is Our Relief

"Jesus Christ is our relief," said President Camille N. Johnson.

"Each of us is carrying a metaphorical backpack. It may be a basket balanced on your head or a satchel or a bundle of things wrapped in cloth and thrown over your shoulder. But for our thinking, let’s call it a backpack.

"This metaphorical backpack is where we carry the burdens of living in a fallen world. Our burdens are like rocks in the backpack ...

"I joyfully declare that our mortal burdens, these rocks in our figurative backpack, need not feel heavy.

"Jesus Christ can lighten our load.

"Jesus Christ can lift our burdens.

"Jesus Christ provides a way for us to be relieved of the weight of sin.

"Jesus Christ is our relief." —President Camille N. Johnson (General Conference Apr. 2023)

The world is fallen. Fallen to pieces. We carry those pieces and burdens on our shoulders. Like a backpack accumulating and becoming so heavy on our hearts. Thank you to our LORD JESUS CHRIST HE ENLIGHTENS OUR HEARTS. HE LOVES US WITH REVERENT HEART. JESUS IS THE ONE THAT WE NEED TO GIVE OUR TROUBLES TO. JESUS LIFTS US UP AND MAKES US WHOLE AGAIN. JESUS IS THE ONE WHO relieves us of the weight of sin.JESUS IS THE ONE WHO MADE A WAY FOR US ALL WHO HAVE SINNED TO BE FORGIVEN AND SIN NO MORE.

How? What are some tangible things I can do to receive His relief? Other than prayer & doing my best to learn about and follow him? Are there some other “to do’s” I can work on rather than just having arbitrary thoughts of lightening my load when it doesn’t feel lightened? How do I achieve this ‘lightening/relief of my heavy load in life?

Who is the speaker? Who is the painter?

Yes The real Jesus found in The Bible. Not the one Josep Smith preached since he preached a different Gospel than the one Jesus revealed. Let him be accursed.
