Leaving a doughnut sitting on the desk

In church today the speaker read this story. It's really long so I am not going to copy and paste it, but it is a sort of parable about the atonement. It is such an important illustration that Christ died for us whether we accept it or not. It already happened and the blessings it opens to us are so lasting and beautiful. All we have to do is accept Christ and try to live me like him. Sometimes this is a difficult thing for me. I am impatient and judgemental and Christ is such a supreme example of what we should be. He is perfect and didn't have to suffer for his own sins, but loved us so much he was willing to suffer for our sins. I want to act in such a way that people around me know that I believe in Christ and try to be like him. If there have been times that you have seen me act in a way that doesn't align with what I say, I want to take this chance to apologize and to announce that I will try to improve.
