Moses 7:53
And the Lord said: Blessed is he through whose seed Messiah shall come; for he saith—I am Messiah, the King of Zion, the Rock of Heaven, which is broad as eternity; whoso cometh in at the gate and climbeth up by me shall never fall; wherefore, blessed are they of whom I have spoken, for they shall come forth with songs of everlasting joy.
JESUS CHRIST is the Rock of Heaven. Look upward and see Him. If you enter the gate of baptism into The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and receive the gift of the Holy Ghost, then you are in the strait and narrow path leading to exaltation and eternal life, and you will obtain this ultimate desire of Heavenly Father if you remain true and faithful and endure to the end of mortality, if you keep climbing upward, looking up to Christ at the top.
Faith in Jesus Christ will keep you in the strait and narrow path of obedience and freedom. The more obedient you are, the more freedom you have and will experience. Jesus is all-encompassing. He is the light and life of the world. He extends out His hands and holds in His hands all His creations without end. Jesus’ power and influence is ‘broad as eternity.’ His knowledge is all-inclusive.
“O how great is the holiness of our God, for He knoweth all things; for there is not anything save He knows it” (2 Nephi 9:20).
Jesus is like the perfect watchman on the Celestial Tower, the tower of heaven. He stands at the top looking downward upon all people and all His creations, desiring for all people everywhere to:
- Look upward to Him
- Believe in Him
- Keep their eyes on Him
- Remember Him
- Follow Him
- Seek to be like Him
- Praise Him
- Climb upward toward Him
- Acknowledge Him
- Obey Him
We become what we focus on the most. Look upward to the top of the tower and see our Savior and Redeemer, even the Rock of Heaven.
