There has been one thing stuck on my mind all day today. And that is the the scripture I’m about to share with you. A revelation given to Joseph Smith and Olivier Cowdery in the Kirtland, Temple, the first temple in this dispensation.
I couldn’t help but think how I would feel after working so hard to build this temple – the sacrifice and time it took, the best crafstmanship, design, work and perfection we can put into creating the House of the Lord – if I was revealed this. Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, even Jehovah, the King of Kings and Lord of Lords , show himself unto me and tell me “your sins are forgiven you….rejoice….I have accepted this house.” (D&C 110:5-6)
The following is that revelation in the Kirtland, Temple. Try to place yourselves there.
“The veil was taken from our minds, and the eyes of our understanding were opened. We saw the Lord standing upon the breastwork of the pulpit, before us ; and under his feet was a paved work of pure gold, in color like amber.
His eyes were as a flame of fire ; the hair of his head was white like the pure snow ; his countenance shone above the brightness of the sun ; and his voice was as the sound of the rushing of great waters, even the voice of Jehovah saying:
I am the first and the last ; I am he who liveth, I am he who was slain ; I am your advocate with the Father.” (D&C 110: 1-4)
I read that over and over again, and each time I feel the spirit so strong, and the Holy Ghost bear truth that Jesus does live, and he is the way and the light for us ” …I am the resurrection, and the life : he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live” (St. John 11:25)
