THE DOINGS OF AN ETERNAL GOD

 

“The Gospels are not biographies of Jesus; they are a collection of faith-promoting accounts from the Saviour’s ministry, that, if believed, will induce receptive souls to come unto Christ and partake of His goodness.”

-          Bruce R. McConkie, “The Mortal Messiah Book 1”, p 371

“No mortal can write the biography of a God. A biography is but the projection through the eyes of a penman of what the writer ‘believes’ were the acts and what he ‘feels’ were the thoughts and emotions of another man who had like feelings with his own.

“How, then can any mortal plumb the depths of the feelings, or understand in full the doings, of an Eternal Being? How can one of limited talent tell, in true perspective, the whole story of Him who has all talent, and tell it in such a way that other dustlike creatures will catch the vision and rejoice in the portrayal?

“….the true ‘Life of Christ’ must be written by the spirit of revelation and of prophecy, and cannot come fort until that millennial day when men, like the brother of Jared, have a perfect knowledge that God can show them all things. Only then will they be able to believe and rejoice in the heavenly account.”

-          Bruce R. McConkie, “The Mortal Messiah Book 1”, Preface xvii

“And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written.”  (John 21:25)

I live in one moment in time

And try to comprehend it all

That surpasses my understanding,

Yet I heed the call.

 

I hear the eternal in every step I take

It is bringing me closer

To the God

 I must never forsake.

 

I want to be with Him

When angels bring me home;

I want to know The Son of God,

who is the meaning of it all.
