I enjoyed reading these chapters about Jesus because we are able to learn how we can become more like him and Heavenly Father. I really liked the story of the rich man who came up to him and said, "And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good master, what good thing shall I do, that i may have eternal life?... And he said unto him, Why callest though me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the comandments (Chapter 19:16-17). The rich man scoffs at hime and Jesus shares the analogy of the camel and the eye of a needle in verses 23-26. I really liked these verses and the example of this story because it teaches us that we not only must do the things that are correct, we must become them. Heavenly father doesnt send us here to accomplish a checklist, he sends us her to learn through our experiances and become like him. I also like that Joseph Smith was able to add on to verse 26, "But Jesus held their thoughts,, and said unto them, With men this is impossible, but if they will forsake all their things for my sake, with God whatsoever things I speak are possible." We must be willing to become like god because then we will be in the right set of mind and not fixated on riches that we can be able to listen to his council and through him all things are possible.
