Part of a call to teach a class is a call to learn, to prepare and to benefit more than any one who listens to what you teach. I have had the privilege of teaching to many different groups. I have taught Gospel Doctrine for about 8 years. I have taught institute to the Young Adults for many years. I have even taught those in the Utah Prison. Now I am blessed to be able to teach the High Priests in my ward. In each calling I have learned so much more than I ever taught to those attending my class.
Tomorrow I get to teach about the Second Coming. What a glorious opportunity to teach about His return to the Earth. As I have done research on the Second Coming, I again get a special feeling about Christ coming and what will happen right before He comes and what will happen when He comes.
What a glorious event that will be when He comes again. I don't know if it will be in my life time or not. There are many things that have to take place before Christ comes according to many prophets. It could be done before I die, but who knows. But whether it happens within the next forty years or not, it does not matter. What matters is the glorious nature of Christ coming and ushering in the Millennium. Whether or not I am in mortality doesn't matter, for I will know of it and participate in it.
I am excited about the Second Coming of Christ. The scriptures say that we will be praying for Him to hurry His coming. It says that he that is prepared has no need to fear. It says that many will greet Him in the air as He comes in glory. It says that all will see Him when He comes. It says that the wicked of the earth will be destroyed. It says that there will be much destruction before He comes. It says that Satan will be bound for many years. It says that He will complete the first resurrection.
The event of His Second Coming will be an event that all righteous will be awaiting and preparing for. What a glorious experience it will be to teach about this promised even that is indeed coming. Oh that it would be in my mortal days. It will be quite an event and I want to be here.
Our mission is one of the many steps that has to be be done before He comes, so our goals of seven months will be assisting in advancing the wonderful day when He comes again.
