Exercising faith in Jesus Christ requires a degree (I would say a high degree) of sanctification. And in that sanctification in Him, the Lord promises (and I know His promises are sure), "then will [He] manifest unto [us] the things which the brother of Jared saw, even to the unfolding unto them all my revelations, saith Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the Father of the heavens and of the earth, and all things that in them are" (Ether 4:7).
Wow.
Just wow!
"When filled with God’s love, we can do and see and understand things that we could not otherwise do or see or understand. Filled with His love, we can endure pain, quell fear, forgive freely, avoid contention, renew strength, and bless and help others in ways surprising even to us." -John H. Groberg

Day 3: Jesus is . . .
Jesus is The High Priest of Good Things to Come
(Hebrews 9:11)
I first heard the title “the High Priest of Good Things to Come” from Elder Jeffery R. Holland 15 years ago while watching a video presentation in the Los Angeles’ Temple Visitor Center. That title, that concept, that truth penetrated into my heart so deeply that it has always been one of the Savior's titles that I have held most dear - probably because I find myself constantly hoping for good things to come. Not in an anxious way, but in a hopeful, promising way as I try my best to look to the Savior with faith and trust.
More recently in General Conference, Elder Holland spoke on this very topic that has been put into video, which causes me to sob everytime I watch it. Because I know that Jesus Christ is the only One who can and will provide the promise that good things can come; will come; do come.
