1) What is the reference of the insight?
3Nephi 8:20-21, 23
2) What principle or doctrine is taught?
Light of Christ
3) What message for improvement is taught?
When Christ was taken from the earth there was darkness for 3 days. The symbolisms that Christ is the light of the world, during the 3 days that he was dead before he had been resurrected there was no light, and all was dark. The people could even feel the deepness of the darkness. No light could be shined, no candle, moon or stars. Without Christ the world would be in utter darkness. People crying and screaming and having no clue what to do. Everyone was so lost, and that is what it is like when people don’t have Christ in their lives, or if they fall off the path of the iron rod and fall into the mists of darkness.
4) How can I apply this principle, doctrine, or message in my life?
Christ is my light. In the times that I have kind of faltered and lost sight of him, those were cold dark scary times. I have for the past year striven to bring him into ever part of my life, home, school, relationships, friends, etc. After being lost in that darkness I never want to again. It was the coldest, the scarcest times of my life, the most lost I have ever felt. It’s so dark I had no clue where I was going, I was so lost. Christ is the light in my life; he guides my every foot step and is the light for me when I have to step into the dark, with him there is no darkness. Without him I would be lost and in utter despair. The time without Christ is something I never want to go though again, he is always with me now, I keep that prayer in my heart and will continue to, because as long as I do what I am supposed to be doing, he will be there and my life will be filled with light.
