3 Nephi 28-30

(December 7, 2014)

                It is really a very puzzling concept to me – the idea that there could be a better result than dying and entering into the Celestial Kingdom for everlasting Exaltation.  But it seems clear from Christ’s language that this is truly possible.  I think that our perspective on things must be wrong in significant and meaningful ways – there are things about reality and our eternal destiny that aren’t communicated through the doctrine (because of our failures, I expect, rather than the doctrines) that cause us to never truly catch more than a glimpse of how things actually work in the hereafter.
