Just a few weeks ago, we read about when the Savior knew He was going to die soon. He knew He was about to be betrayed by someone He loved, go through unthinkable pain, and save the world.
How would you prepare for something like that? We don’t have an exact account of Christ’s last moments with His disciples, but we do know one thing: He sang a hymn with them.
“And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives” (Matthew 26:30).
Of course, the hymn may not have sounded like the hymns we sing today. They may have chanted a memorized scripture. Whatever it may have sounded like, if music is valuable enough for Jesus to include in the last moments of His life, surely it can be a powerful force in our lives too.
So, we want to know: How has good music blessed your life? Read how three young adults who are part of the Tabernacle Choir and Orchestra at Temple Square answered that question in this article.
And you can send us your own answer by emailing youth@ChurchofJesusChrist.org. We look forward to hearing your musical musings!
