Scripture Blog

This weblog is my personal online scripture journal. I try to read the scriptures each morning as I exercise on my cross-trainer. It has a great impact on my life and my testimony of the Savior and his restored church. The journal is really for my own benefit but I have set it up as a web log in hopes to benefit anyone else that may be interested. "For he that diligently seeketh shall find; and the mysteries of God shall be unfolded unto them, by the power of the Holy Ghost..." 1 Nephi 10:19

D&C 138

This morning the thought came that in the final moments as the Savior suffered on the cross -

"...there were gathered together in one place an innumerable company of the spirits of the just, who had been faithful in the testimony of Jesus while they lived in mortality..."  (Doctrine and Covenants | Section 138:12)

And -

"...they were filled with joy and gladness, and were rejoicing together because the day of their deliverance was at hand."  (Doctrine and Covenants | Section 138:15)

For -

"They were assembled awaiting the advent of the Son of God into the spirit world, to declare their redemption from the bands of death."  (Doctrine and Covenants | Section 138:16)

Isn't that interesting that in death as many mortals suffer great loss, they may be those rejoicing with a uniting.
