Becoming a Disciple of Our Lord Jesus Christ
By Elder Robert D. Hales
Of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles
Disciples live so that the characteristics of Christ are woven into the fiber of their beings, as into a spiritual tapestry.
From temperance to patience and from patience to godliness, our natures change. We gain the brotherly kindness that is a hallmark of all true disciples. Like the Good Samaritan, we cross the road to minister to whoever is in need, even if they are not within the circle of our friends.19 We bless them that curse us. We do good to those who despitefully use us.20 Is any attribute more godly or Christlike?
There will be no disparity between the kindness we show our enemies and the kindness we bestow on our friends. We will be as honest when no one is looking as when others are watching. We will be as devoted to God in the public square as we are in our private closet.
