As we wrap up our study of the four gospels this week, we have had the opportunity to consider the many witnesses of Christ's victory over death. So many testified that He truly lives again!
Two of those witnesses walked with the Savior on the road to Emmaus (See Luke 24). Cleopas and his companion did not initially recognize the risen Lord, but after being fed by Him, both physically and spiritually, they realized that He was, indeed, the Savior and Redeemer of the world. The Spirit confirmed this truth as their "hearts burned within [them]" in His presence.
How does the Savior feed us? How can we recognize Him more clearly in our lives? Students responded to these questions this morning:
Brandon Stauffer:
The Savior gives me knowledge through personal prayer and scripture study. I can become more familiar with his teachings and gospel.
Jennifer Gibson:
The Savior feeds me through the scriptures when I read his words every day.
Courtney Anderson:
The Savior feeds me by blessing my life through the scriptures and the words of the prophets. Every day there are small things that the Savior uses to feed me. I can recognize him more clearly by staying on the path of righteousness and focusing on him.
Kennedy Faulk:
The Savior spiritually feeds me, and I can come to recognize him more clearly by being more faithful and spiritual and becoming a better representative of Christ.
Dan Moreno:
The Savior puts wise people in my path to listen to and for me to seek others.
Alyssa McPeak:
He feeds me with the gospel in my life to keep my sights high. To recognize him more clearly I can pray, read scriptures, keep commandments and have a pure heart.

Just simply feeling my Savior's love and delighting in the gospel gives me that satisfying feeling and spiritual energy boost.

Jenna Hamzawi:
The Savior feeds me by giving me the desire to read his words. I am actually at the point of being excited to read the words of the New Testament, and I have not skipped a single night of scripture study. He sends me the Holy Ghost to identify my wrong doings of the day so that I can repent.
Jourdan Satterfield:
He gives me his words that I may feast upon them. I can recognize Him more when I truly study the scriptures in hope that I may truly know the Savior.

He feeds me in everything and every aspect of anything good He does for me. I can stay righteous so I can hear that still, small whisper.
Britanie Kersey:
He feeds me with the Spirit so I know what I need to do and what is right. He feeds me when I read the scriptures or listen to testimonies that His church is true. I can recognize Him more clearly by taking time to just listen and let His Spirit teach me.
