Quote for Discussion He that receiveth a prophet…shall receive a prophet’s reward.Matthew 10:41 How can you bless your posterity? The Prophet Joseph Smith declared…that the eternal sealings of faithful parents and the divine promises made to them for valiant service in the Cause of Truth, would save not only themselves, but likewise their posterity. Though some of the sheep may wander, the eye of the Shepherd is upon them, and sooner or later they will feel the tentacles of Divine Providence reaching out after them and drawing them back to the fold. Either in this life or the life to come, they will return. They will have to pay their debt to justice; they will suffer for their sins; and may tread a thorny path; but if it leads them at last…to a loving and forgiving father’s heart and home, the painful experience will not have been in vain.Orson F. Whitney, in Conference Report, April 1929, 110 Quote
