Have you ever felt wronged and wanted justice? Do you struggle to balance family and Church callings? And what is the real reason for suffering in our lives? D&C 98-101 offers profound and often surprising answers to these questions, giving us a blueprint for peace in a world of contention.
Summary: In this episode, we tackle four remarkable revelations. We start with D&C 98 and the "Lord's Law of War," learning when to patiently endure and when to stand. We'll explore the difference between being justified and being sanctified and discover why the Lord commands us to "renounce war and proclaim peace."
Next, D&C 100 provides a powerful message for every parent and leader: "your families are well; they are in mine hands." This revelation gives us comfort and direction on balancing our most important responsibilities. We then dive into D&C 101, which reveals why the Saints suffered such intense persecution in Missouri—as a consequence of their own sins, including "jarrings, and contentions, and envyings". The Lord, however, promises to remember mercy in the day of wrath.
We'll discuss the parable of the nobleman and the servants who asked, "what need hath my lord of this tower?" This serves as a powerful warning against second-guessing God's counsel. Amidst the chaos, D&C 101 offers incredible hope, redefining Zion as "the pure in heart," and promising that Zion "shall not be moved". Finally, we'll examine the Lord's "strange act" and His role in establishing the Constitution.
