Prepare The Way

Doctrine and Covenants 65

“Prepare ye the way of the Lord.”

Matthew described John the Baptist as one who cried, “Prepare ye the way of the Lord” (Matthew 3:3; see also Isaiah 40:3). 

In Doctrine and Covenants 65, the Lord uses similar language to describe His latter-day work. What similarities do you see between what John the Baptist did (see Matthew 3:1–12) and what the Lord wants us to do today? What do you find in this revelation that inspires you to help fulfill the prophecies it contains? Ponder ways you can “make known [God’s] wonderful works among the people” (verse 4).  In the Last days we are preparing the way for the second coming of Jesus Christ to reign on the earth for a 1000 years.  It is our rrsponsibility to cry repentance to all and share the restore gospel message that Christ Church is in the earth again.  Do all we can to gather Zion.   It is a promise that the church will not be destroyed this time in history we will continue to grow until we fill the entire earth.  There is much to do to bring others to Christ, even in our own families.
