-At times we ascribe more confidence
and goodness to ourselves than we truly merit. We say “they have seen an angel,
how hard can it be? They must know of
the incredible power on their side.” I
draw your attention to the fact that the angel departed. Once more they were left alone to accomplish
the work. It still had to be done. The same was true for the early saints. Take the prophet Joseph for example: After
the first vision of the Father and the Son was closed he still had to face the
ridicule, endure the tarring and beatings, survive months freezing in jail,
watch the Saints be driven and murdered and then walk into the prison where he
knew he would die. It is a law of this
life that the work is done after the
heavens are closed.
