Sunday School Insights

As I was ironing Zeke’s Sunday shirt before church and contemplating my upcoming lesson on Ephesians, I was thinking about the concept of foreordination. Even though Zeke’s shirt said it was wrinkle free, it was definitely covered in wrinkles. This is because Zeke does not take care of it and hang it up; rather he leaves it on the floor and ignores it all week. We are all foreordained to receive all the Father has, but only if we take care of the life we have here. And even though we take care of it, the Atonement will take care of all the wrinkles that still come up. So the shirt is not predestined to be wrinkle free, just foreordained and only predicated on our actions. Something to think about.
