Matthew 22-23
Matthew 22: 15-21
Elder Howard W. Hunter:
“The wisdom of the Savior’s answer defines the limitations of dual
sovereigns and defines the jurisdiction of the two empires of heaven and earth.
The image of monarchs stamped on coins denotes that temporal things belong to
the temporal sovereign. The image of God stamped on the
heart and soul of a man denotes that all its facilities and powers belong to
God and should be employed in his service” (in
Conference Report, Apr. 1968, 64-65).
Matthew 23:37-39
Pres. Eyring said:
“More than once [the Savior] has said that He would gather us to Him as a hen would gather her chickens under her wings. He says that we must choose to come to Him. …
“One way to do that is to gather with the Saints in His Church. Go to your meetings, even when it seems hard. If you are determined, He will help you find the strength to do it” (“In the Strength of the Lord,” Ensign or Liahona, May 2004, 18).
