Micah 5:2b; “…yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel…”
John 15:10; “If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and abide in his love.”

..God’s servant… Moments after Judas’ departure from the ‘Last Supper’ Jesus reminds His disciples to abide. Abiding in Him means to abide in love for the brethren which in turn means you’ll be in obedience to His commandments. Just like Judas there will always be some in the crowd who say all the right things, but in reality they’re wolves in sheep’s clothing. Joseph Smith’s teachings are a good example of this today. The behavior of the Mormon people looks great on the outside, but inside their hearts they’re only obedient to Joseph.

The Promised Messiah, pg 33; “Where there are prophets, salvation is available; and where there are no prophets, there is no hope of salvation. It is no wonder that Lucifer hates prophets and seeks their destruction.” – Bruce McConkie
