Primary 106 - Come and see
John the Baptist was the voice before the king of Israel (Jesus) and Messiah. King David had a messenger before he arrived named Nathan (hey that's Brother Bingham's name) a prophet who led and inspired the king.
John came before Jesus and he started teaching about him before He (Jesus) started His ministry. John knew the divine nature and origin of his cousin and taught it. He was baptizing and connecting the scripture so that the people of that time would understand.
The prophet is attempting to do that for us today through the same Spirit of revelation that John taught with. We need to listen to the prophet so that we can know of the sources that will lead us to the Savior; so we can recognize Him when he comes. It is no idle thing that the prophet wants us to read the scriptures or pray. These things lead us daily to the Savior a little bit at a time. Like a tree, we need to nourish our souls with the good words of the prophets, with study and prayer, with fasting and service. This year let us each take the time to listen to the voice of a prophet like the followers of John. They turned to the savior because that was John's message and they recognized Him when he came. This is our prayer for you this year.
Challenges
1) Read Matthew 3; Mark 1; Luke 3
2) What has our prophet today told us we should do? Take some time to review the Last conference talk or message from the prophet. What is the spirit telling you to do?
