Great talk! Being a member of the Church of Jesus Christ is the best burden

[@byuspeeches]

Amen!

[@j.stratton3077]

I’ve listened to this talk twice now and find I want to hear it again. There is a lot of food for thought here. I suspect this is one of those talks that one will discover a new gem each time they hear it.

in a time when we can connect with people all across the world we need to connect with people who are in need of help the problem is those of us that need help are afraid to turn to our neighbors and ask for help even those we know they would be there for us so we continue to push thru alone and then develop these issues that in turn develop a divide between us and god which then creates even greater problems so i ask all of you out there do not be afraid to ask for help there are tons if us out here that want nothing more than to help so please turn to your neighbor and or to god we are all meek in our own ways but with help we can all reach the same goal thank you i love you.

Just from the title of this talk I desire to comment. When we choose to walk with Jesus Christ, and to take His yoke upon us (which is light), life doesn’t get easier, IT GETS HARDER! (Harder to us) God said, “I will have a tried people.” What Christ meant when He said His yoke is easy and His burden is Light is that when we turn with Him we obtain knowledge, understanding, wisdom, patience, hope, faith, charity, love, etc. All these things are His “light!” He does not mean that it will be light, as in, not heavy; we will have the understanding we need to be patient, long suffering, and exceedingly charitable in our afflictions! “He that shall lose His life for my sake shall find it.” Just because we turn to and turn with Jesus Christ, does not mean our problems magically disappear! I have found the more I turn with Him and the more I choose to get closer to Him, the more trials He gives to me. Like Job and all the Holy Prophets. They were the Holiest of all and Righteous of all and closest to Christ! And yet, their lives (as viewed from a mortal standpoint) were remarkably difficult! But they had CHRIST. His enabling power is the “light”.
