I have a great appreciation for Rock music and one of my favorite things from it is the guitar solos in many of the songs I listen to, guitar solos are pretty amazing it requires a lot of hard work and practice. It is not an easy thing to do. A great example of this is Carlos Santana. His skills to play guitar and solos are awesome and crazy and I don’t think he just woke up one morning with them. I believe it was a really long process to get to the point where he is now and even at this point I think he make mistakes once in a while when he is playing a guitar solo.
The reason why I mention all of this is because here on earth, we are all playing our own guitar solo. As we are playing our solo’s we make mistakes and hit wrong notes; some of us frequently and some of us not as often. Every time we hit the wrong note we are getting farther away from getting the prize. Before coming to the earth our Father in heaven knew that our guitar solos, our lives, weren’t going to be 100% perfect. Also, he wants everyone to obtain the prize coming back to his presence and living with him for eternity. So he called our big brother Jesus and he asked him to come down to the earth to perform an eternal guitar solo known as the Atonement. When Jesus Christ came down he played a perfect guitar solo he hit all the right notes every single time and he even went through all of our guitar solos; playing them perfectly, in one single unique and eternal solo and fixed them to be perfect so when the time will come for each of us to play our solo’s and hit wrong notes we can fix our solo’s through Jesus Christ’s solo; known as the atonement.
I know that the Atonement of Jesus Christ can help us throughout our lives to get closer to our final prize which is to live again in the presence of our Heavenly Father. I know that any kind of bad stuff that affects us in this world can be make right through the Atonement. I know that even though we are not pro’s playing the guitar solo of our lives, that Jesus is and he is willing to help us if we are willing to let him.
