I am grateful for a Jesus who is kind.

For a Jesus who encourages, accepts, and loves.

For a Jesus who doesn’t shame, but who invites.

For a Jesus who is fair and understanding.

Jesus Christ visited Joseph and Oliver in the Kirtland temple just days after its dedication.

And the words He spoke to them are so telling of His character and nature.

“Let the hearts of your brethren rejoice, and let the hearts of all my people rejoice, who have, with their might, built this house to my name.

“For behold, I have accepted this house, and my name shall be here; and I will manifest myself to my people in mercy in this house.” D&C 110:6-7

Love. Acceptance. Mercy. Power. Patience.

There are only limited words that I can read that I know my Savior spoke.

And these few messages and words that He spoke in the Kirtland temple that April day let me know that He is one and the same.

He is kindness and love and mercy.

I am so grateful for any opportunity I get to learn more about Jesus Christ.

To study His words and know that Jesus is my kind, wise heavenly friend.

Happy Studying!
