In Luke 17, Jesus Christ said something unusual to the Pharisees when they were questioning him about his coming again to the earth to establish the Kingdom of God. Jesus first told them that huge storms would occur and that there would be widespread immorality and lack of interest in spiritual matters. He said that there would be people saying Christ was here or there and that we must be careful in our trust. Jesus said that at the time of his coming, one person would be taken and another one would be left behind. He then said, “Wheresoever the body is, thither will the eagles be gathered together.” What does this mean?
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the Mormons, believes that God has not changed his way of dealing with his children on the earth. The church believes that God desires to, and has again spoken directly to mankind. The church believes that the ‘body’ is a group of righteous people that has been called to prepare for his second coming and that the ‘eagles’ are truth seekers who are attracted to the group and want to partake of the blessings available to the group. The church believes, wants to share the message, and is testifying, that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, is the body spoken about in Luke; and the eagles are believers that have accepted the message, and are flocking to join the church from the countries of the world.
What evidence is there that this message the church wants to share with you is the truth? At this moment the church’s 80,000 unpaid missionaries, which serve around the world for 1 to 2 years, are finding hundreds of thousands of people that are accepting their testimony and the testimony borne by the Holy Spirit, and a modern day prophet. These witnesses testify that a marvelous work and a wonder has taken place to teach us how to live and be part of the Kingdom of God. They testify that a modern day prophet has translated from ancient records, the story of the visit of Christ to the American continent after his resurrection in Jerusalem. They testify that modern day prophets have also received instructions from God during the last 200 years showing how the Church of Jesus Christ should be organized, and what the church should teach.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints wants, and in fact has been commanded by God, to share the messages received. In addition to the Sunday Service at 10 AM, there is a detailed study session Wednesday at 7 PM about the purpose and principles of the church and how God has directed this modern church to be organized. Sunday services and the Wednesday informal study for members and friends, where questions, answers, and discussions are welcome, are conducted at our church at 34 Rogers Street. (behind the old court house)
If you are curious about the progress and principles of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, if you are searching to learn, if you want to hear some shocking messages, drop by either Sunday or Wednesday to have your questions answered.
