Elder Dallin H. Oaks "Preparation
for the Second Coming," Ensign,
May 2004, 7
What if the
day of His coming were tomorrow? If we knew that we would meet the Lord tomorrow-through
our premature death or through His unexpected coming-what would we do today?
What confessions would we make? What practices would we discontinue? What
accounts would we settle? What forgivenesses would we extend? What testimonies
would we bear?
If we would
do those things then, why not now? Why not seek peace while peace can be
obtained? If our lamps of preparation are drawn down, let us start immediately
to replenish them.
