Join us today as we begin our brand new study of the Doctrine and Covenants, beginning with the preface which is converted in D&C 1. We consider the importance of listening to the voice of the Lord and His servants and we reflect on our role in spreading the Gospel message.
Casey Paul Griffiths: In the closing words of the revelation, the Lord underlines one of the important themes of the Doctrine and Covenants. His servants, though imperfect men and women, are given the authority to act on His behalf and to carry His message to the nations. In a later revelation, the Lord teaches “he that receiveth my servants receiveth me” (Doctrine and Covenants 84:36). The revelation serves as a perfect opening to a volume of scripture containing the Lord’s words to the people in the latter days. The weakness of His servants will be evident, but also glory and power will be found whenever faithful men and women receive a call to act on behalf of God to bring about His purposes.
