I gave this talk in church on Easter Sunday. Getting ready for that talk was just what I needed right now. It is a bit long. I shaved the talk down a bit for time, but left all my original content here. Hopefully it will bless someone else as well. Love, Janelle
Good
afternoon brothers and sisters. Happy Easter! For those of you who
don’t know me, my name is Janelle Gratteau, and I hide out in nursery
with your beautiful children. I’m married to Steve and we have four
children: Byron, Taryn, Josie and little Manning. I’ve been asked to
speak today on the Life of Jesus Christ. I must admit that for some
reason this talk has been a difficult one for me to pull together. In
part I think because of the vast amount of information it could contain.
Just out of curiousity I did a search on lds.org with that title and I
got over 17,000 possibilites. Also though, as many talks do for those
who prepare them, this subject has become very personal to me over the
past three weeks. As I studied the life of Christ and read about the
last week of his life and the many teaching he shared in the New
Testament, and as I prayed and pondered I kept coming back to this: what
does the Life of Christ mean to me, right now?
