Because of Jesus Christ (Video)
Weekly Message: What did YOU hear?
As I listened to President Nelson’s closing remarks on Sunday, it was with anticipation that he would announce more temples. And he did not disappoint!
In little more than four years, President Nelson has announced 118 new temples. It is so exciting to see the construction of temples proceeding at what seems like “break-neck” speed. As I listened, I reflected on the special worldwide leadership training, held in June 2013, entitled “Hastening the Work”.
In the almost 10 years since that meeting, we have literally seen the work of the Lord increase and accelerate in ways we could only imagine back then. Yet here we are, first-hand witnesses, to the most significant era in temple building the world has ever seen.
More than the announcement of new temples, though, what impressed me were some key statements from President Nelson …
Our Heavenly Father and His Beloved Son, Jesus Christ, stand ready to help you. I urge you to increase your efforts to seek Their help.
…the temple….is His house. It is filled with His power.
He is making His temples more accessible.
He is increasing our ability to help gather Israel.
He is also making it easier for each of us to become spiritually refined.
I promise that increased time in the temple will bless your life in ways nothing else can.
…may you focus on the temple in ways you never have before.
In the 3rd quarter of this year, we will witness the open house and dedication of the Taylorsville Utah Temple.
What will we do to prepare to receive the promised blessings?
What will we sacrifice to become spiritually refined?
What will we sacrifice to be filled with His power?
I hope we will all ponder these questions and listen to the whisperings of the Holy Spirit as we seek the promises made by a prophet of God.
I love you all,
President Gardner
