I'm finding that a really good way for me to study is to take one scripture and really break it down to find out it's meaning. Sometimes taking a section verse by verse helps me understand a lot quicker than reading a big section and then analyzing it. What I really like about this verse is the order of things stated in this verse by Christ. After he states who he is, he tells us to "treasure it up in our hearts". It's like he's letting us know it's a relief that he told us that he is the Savior of the world. We don't have to worry about who can save us, or how everything will be taken care of. He's letting us know that it's ok, he's taken care of everything that we couldn't, so the rest we can work through with him. And with the rest of the verse "and let the solemnities of eternity rest upon your minds." To me it's him almost giving us something to work on. He's told us who he is, he's told us to not worry, and now he's telling us to admire and realize how good it can be for us, if we rely on his role as the Savior and are worthy to return to be with him for eternity.
He takes care of everything, if we let him.
