"I am impressed with the words 'true at all times.' Helaman did not have
to
worry if they would show up. He was not concerned about some of them
surrendering before the battle began. They did not blame their righteous
parents
for causing them to suffer injury and pain. Rather, they 'did think more
upon
the liberty of their fathers than they did upon their lives' (Alma
56:47). Although the
fighting was awful and they were terribly outnumbered, those young men
could be
counted upon." - F. Melvin Hammond, "True
at
All Times," New Era, February 1999, p. 48

"As we contemplate the
events leading to the death of Jesus Christ, we tend to grieve for
the awful
sufferings which He experienced at the hands of wicked men-the
terrible rending
by the lash, the dreadful nails placed in His hands and feet, the
prolonged
agony of the cross, and finally His tender heart breaking for the
sins of all
men.
"But stop! He is not dead! He is risen! He is the first fruit of the
resurrection. Without Him, life for all men would end at death. All
would be
consigned to the grave, their bodies to molder in the dust forever.
But because
of Him, our Savior, even Jesus Christ, the Son of the living God,
we, every one
of us, will live again-freed from the everlasting chains of death."

Resurrection," Ensign, May 1990, p. 30

Some who have accepted the
gospel by being baptized do not continue to enjoy the feast. Once we
have come to the Lord’s table, let us not leave too early!
Continuing to feast on the good things of the gospel means we will
keep the commandments, attend our meetings, and contribute to the
happiness of those around us by being good neighbors and friends. - F.

of Jesus: The Great Supper,"
