Behold, I will show unto the
Gentiles their weakness, and I will show unto them that faith, hope and charity
bringeth unto me—the fountain of all righteousness. (Ether 12:28)
This verse struck me as profound for some reason today, but
I’m not sure I can quite articulate why. (But I’ll try.) The idea that faith,
hope, and charity brings or leads us eventually to Christ is wonderful. It
means you just have to follow the threads of faith, hope, and charity that you
find in your life and among the people you meet, and you’ll eventually find
Christ and His true church.
Also, I love the Christ calls Himself “the fountain of all
righteousness.” It’s a beautiful image—a fountain perpetually springing up with
good works, a fountain that never runs dry, a fountain that is the source of
ALL righteousness in the world. If a person find a stream of righteousness
anywhere, they can follow it back, and it would eventually lead them to Christ.
If suppose if we want to be like Him, then we must similarly
become fountains of righteousness as well. Today, let’s try to be a fountain of
faith, hope, and charity.
