Doctrine and Covenants 93:36 “The glory of God is intelligence, or, in other words, light and truth.” Joseph Smith
John 1:14 “And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.”
2 Corinthians 4:6 “For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.”
Hebrews 1:3 “Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high”.

There comes a point in the lives of most people where a decision has to be made about who/what they’re going to worship. For me, that day came on Palm Sunday of ’93. I wasn’t completely sure who the God of the Bible was, but I was positive it wasn’t the god of my heritage in the Mormon Church. I also knew I loved the Jesus I read about in the Bible. I’m sure I’m not alone with my rudimentary understanding of the Lord.
Sadly, Joe Smith taught everything under the sun but the truth when it came to this topic. We’re looking at this topic today because of the numerous times people referred to it at this past General Conference.
Our definition for the glory of God is small compared to the whole of what our Lord has revealed about His Son. For today, share these simple, albeit profound, verses with the Mormon you know! Building a true knowledge of Jesus doesn’t have to come all at once, but sharing little things here and there, can make a huge impact over time!
With Love in Christ;
Michelle
