DAILY DEVOTIONAL
May 1, 2019
Reason and Justice
SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY
Doctrine and Covenants 138:57-59

"I beheld that the faithful elders of this dispensation, when they depart from mortal life, continue their labors in the preaching of the gospel of repentance and redemption, through the sacrifice of the Only Begotten Son of God, among those who are in darkness and under the bondage of sin in the great world of the spirits of the dead. The dead who repent will be redeemed, through obedience to the ordinances of the house of God, And after they have paid the penalty of their transgressions, and are washed clean, shall receive a reward according to their works, for they are heirs of salvation."

Thank you! 
QUOTE OF THE DAY
David O. McKay

"The restored Church of Jesus Christ is the plan given by our Heavenly Father whereby every human being who can think for himself or herself may work with God for the happiness and salvation of his or her soul. Reason and justice would demand universal application of eternal principles and ordinances to persons living in mortality, and to those living in the spirit world" (Teachings of Presidents of the Church: David O. McKay, p. 131-132).
TODAY IN CHURCH HISTORY
May 1

1846 - The original Nauvoo Temple is publicly dedicated by Elder Orson Hyde. Tickets were sold to the dedication for $1.00 to help pay the workers who had helped to finish the building.  With the private dedication the previous evening, this dedication was more for the public than for Church purposes.

Preparing for the Lord's Return
BOOK:  Studies in the Book of Mormon: Chapter 13: The Olive Tree

The prophet Zenos' allegory of the olive tree seems to provide the common source for Nephi's and Paul's olive tree imagery (cf. Romans 11:16-24; 1 Nephi 10:12-14; 15:12-16). The olive tree as a symbol of Israel, together with the fig tree and grapevine, has a long history in the Old Testament (cf. Judges 9:8-13; Hosea 14:6-8; Jeremiah 11:16-17). All three varieties can renew themselves even if they decay and are cut down.
