Tribune columnist Gordon Monson praises Patrick Kearon's first General Conference talk as an apostle.
Gordon Monson: Look out, Latter-day Saints, Patrick Kearon is a hard-charging, hard-not-to-like apostle
Kearon’s talk started off with a good laugh, the leader saying that it’s been said that behind every new apostle stands an astonished mother-in-law. Further, he said this world was created for the express purpose of humans having the refining experiences of mortality, to learn and to grow, to make mistakes, to repent, to love God and our neighbor. The Almighty sent his son, Jesus Christ, to also experience mortality, to set an example for everyone, to atone and redeem. That atoning gift opens the path to return to God, to remove every barrier en route.
“If you are prone to worry that you will never measure up or that the loving reach of Christ’s infinite Atonement mercifully covers everyone else, but not you, then you are misunderstanding. Infinite means infinite. Infinite covers you and those you love.”
