You can also join the discussion in the Facebook Group 'Church of Jesus Christ Study Session with Come Follow Me'.

Join us as we explore the time before Christ, outlined in Zenos' allegory of the Olive Tree. As we continue we discover the developments through the time of Christ and afterwards and just what feelings the Lord has through the Great Apostasy.

Neal A Maxwell: In the anguishing process of repentance, we may sometimes feel God has deserted us. The reality is that our behavior has isolated us from Him. Thus, while we are turning away from evil but have not yet turned fully to God, we are especially vulnerable. Yet we must not give up, but, instead, reach out to God’s awaiting arm of mercy, which is outstretched 'all the day long.' Unlike us, God has no restrictive office hours.
