Keep listening for Part 2 with Dr. Steve Harper.

Doctrine and Covenants Section 18.

You could take that to Mosaic 15, where Abinidad is teaching about the Atonement of Jesus Christ.

When his soul is making an offering for sin, he will see his seed. That's his motivation. This is why.

How's that for joy in your posterity? Parents know the immense joy that comes when they sacrifice

and when their children are the beneficiaries of that sacrifice. That there's nothing like that joy.

You guys have felt it, tasted it.

There's nothing like it.

Well, here we're learning that that's akin,

maybe in a tiny foretaste,

but that is akin to what Christ experiences.

When we repent, it brings him immense joy because we get back into the Father's

presence on conditions of repentance. And then we formalize this faith and repentance cycle,

faith in Christ. We believe he can save us. Repentance to signal to him that we want him to save us. We formalize that by making

a covenant. And of course, that is going to be the subject that we turn to next in the revelation.

We're going to learn that we take upon ourselves the name of Christ. And then that is going to be

repeated a dozen times in the back half of this revelation.

And the Lord is going to tell the apostles when they're called,

your job is to tell the whole world to repent.

You're called with the same calling as Paul, my apostle.

Tell everyone to repent.

Tell them the reason to repent because it brings immense joy to Christ. And when you go and tell everyone to repent. Tell them the reason to repent because it brings immense joy to Christ.
