"The first witness is the Holy Bible, which testifies of the Master
from the Middle East. The Lord said in John
10:16 that other sheep would hear His voice. The Lord came to
the Americas after His resurrection and said: 'And verily I say unto
you, that ye are they of whom I said: Other sheep I have which are not
of this fold; them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice;
and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd' (3
Ne. 15:21). Two such witnesses cannot be denied without placing
the soul in peril." - Ted E. Brewerton, "The

of Mormon: A Sacred Ancient Record," Ensign, November 1995, p.

"It is impossible to understand what happened on Calvary without some
understanding as to what went on in Gethsemane. Likewise, the birth at
Bethlehem must be tied to the significance of the empty tomb which
signaled the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The ministry of the Master
cannot be understood fully either, unless we understand about his
ministry on this hemisphere to the other sheep which were not of the
fold in Jerusalem (see John
10:16; 3
Ne. 15:17, 21-24). The more one understands about the ministry
of Jesus Christ, the more absurd it is to regard him as any less than
the resurrected Son of God." - Spencer W. Kimball, "The
Savior:
The Center of Our Lives," New Era, April 1980, p. 34

"But his interest in this world did not end when he had performed his
great sacrifice. He is the Savior of all men, no matter where or when
they have lived upon the earth. To his disciples at Jerusalem he said,
'And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must
bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and
one shepherd.' (John
10:16) It is generally agreed now that when he spoke those words
there was a mighty multitude of people living in this western world.
He was their Savior and knew of their existence." - Melvin J. Ballard,
"Conference Report," October 1936, Church of the Air Broadcast,
