Joy as we focus on Jesus Christ

Send us a text

 “Once the football team learned to ignore the many distractions facing them and focused on their goal, they succeeded beyond what they thought possible and experienced great joy.”  In this week’s episode I am talking about having joy as we focus on Jesus Christ.  I share the story of the 1996 Nigerian Football (american soccer) team who won the gold medal.   This win created infectious joy for all of Nigeria.  This story was used as an example that Elder I. Raymond Egbo uses in his talk titled  Focus on Jesus Christ and his Gospel from October 2024 General Conference.  I also loop back to the idea of our natural state being of joy, peace and contentment.  Then bring in some scriptures from the Book of Mormon about people feeling so much joy because of Jesus Christ.  As we are preparing for Easter in a month this is a good time to reflect on the great goodness of God that can help us experience such great joy that we can’t even imagine.
