![President Henry B. Eyring testified “We know that the Lord will comfort all of those who try to follow Him.”
“And He offers us the great blessing & trust to help Him keep His promise to succor Father’s children in their tests along their mortal journey home.
“That is the reason we shed tears of joy & take courage whenever we hear the words, ‘Fear not, I am with thee,’ & we are touched that He offers us the trust of helping & loving others.”
Elder Neil L. Andersen taught about spiritual courage being born of faith in Jesus Christ & how this faith & courage sustains individuals during life’s challenges.
“I promise you that as you strengthen your faith in Jesus Christ by believing & following Him, & keeping His commandments, your answers will come, your spiritual power will increase, & your courage in following Christ will define your eternal soul.”
Sister Tamara W. Runia spoke about the purpose of suffering. It’s human nature to want to fix things & to become frustrated when something happens that cannot be fixed.
“A godlike life is carved from the very things that make it hard — the gut-wrenching things that happen & the righteous desires that haven’t. God is shaping us into something only He knows we can become."
Suffering is not a detour from the path; it gives purpose to our path. God is saying, ‘Trust me,’ & we are learning how to say yes.”
Elder Michael A. Dunn recounted an experience of finishing a 100-mile race. To help him finish the last 10 miles, his friend Ted quietly lightened Elder Dunn’s load by carrying his hydration pack.
“As I’ve come to learn through this race & the ups and downs of my life, [the Savior] simultaneously lifts & uplifts, sometimes in unseen fashion, multiplying & magnifying even our most miniscule offerings. In other words, the Redeemer rescues not by shortening our course but by helping us lengthen our stride.”
President Timothy L. Farnes spoke about having “eyes to see” opportunities to minister & help others — what he described as “divine appointments.”
“This pattern defined the Savior’s ministry. He turned ordinary encounters with people into extraordinary moments of healing, encouragement & transformation.](https://scontent-den2-1.cdninstagram.com/v/t51.82787-15/846798509_18088697837691383_677409699593317506_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_e35_tt6&_nc_cat=101&ccb=7-5&_nc_sid=18de74&efg=eyJlZmdfdGFnIjoiRkVFRC5iZXN0X2ltYWdlX3VybGdlbi5DMyJ9&_nc_ohc=m7VW57oqhiQQ7kNvwFeDW3M&_nc_oc=AdoOcqCjyej93MFFN57WwoGuhl8eL95-4naqquBMa_30yZpdhT3O6M4Joqt90ykOoIc&_nc_zt=23&_nc_ht=scontent-den2-1.cdninstagram.com&edm=ANo9K5cEAAAA&_nc_gid=lYKHTjNaaIdj5raCHAhbiw&_nc_tpa=Q5bMBQLzL-aA5ezpAAYNd2W5XRSvVJcmgwi_qpjEok6UBh1VYnR-9rUH--P57hL53qUlWoYqqJgMGUbH&oh=00_AQPbEIcSsIxZ95F_eFLdywcV-jlI8wW31y5U-2CdMvYr5g&oe=6ADB4E8E)
![As this ... general conference of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints draws to a close, we, like the disciples on the road to Emmaus, long for our Savior to abide with us, for ’tis Eastertide.
The Gospel of Luke tells us, “Two [disciples] went that same day”—Easter day—“to a village called Emmaus, … from Jerusalem about threescore furlongs” (about seven miles or 12 kilometers). Emmaus means “hot springs,” a place of healing.
Imagine we are walking to Emmaus. A stranger joins us. He sees we are sad. We tell Him, “Jesus of Nazareth, … a prophet mighty in deed and word before God & all the people,” has been crucified. And “to day is the third day since these things were done.”
As we walk, the stranger opens the scriptures & expounds all things concerning Jesus Christ. As we draw close to the village, we ask our new companion, “Abide with us: for it is toward evening.”
Our friend eats with us. He takes bread, blesses it, breaks, & gives to us. Our eyes are opened. We know Him—the resurrected Jesus Christ. Though we did not recognize Him before, He has been walking with us all along.
The Gospel of Mark testifies Jesus appeared three times... but was not recognized at first.
“He appeared first to Mary Magdalene,” who initially supposed Jesus to be the gardener.
Next, Jesus appeared “unto two of them, as they walked.” These two disciples on the road to Emmaus ultimately knew Him in the “breaking of bread.”
Third, Jesus “appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat.” “Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, & saith[,] … Behold my hands & my feet, that it is I myself.” To show He was not a spirit, Jesus ate “a piece of … broiled fish, & of an honeycomb.”
Jesus Christ walking with His disciples on the road to Emmaus reveals a covenant pattern. Sometimes on our dusty roads to Emmaus, we feel alone, misunderstood, burdened, unseen. But as He “talk[s] with us by the way,” As He breaks and blesses the sacramental bread, His ordinances & covenants can help us know Him. As we walk by faith with Him, abiding in Him, & He in us, we come to know He lives.
’Tis Eastertide: No One Walks Alone
