Resurrection is another creation

This post is part of the General Conference Odyssey. This week covers the Sunday Afternoon Session of the April 1992 Conference.

This is a good week to contemplate Resurrection! And of course President Nelson would be the one who thought of this:

The Lord who created us in the first place surely has power to do it again. The same necessary elements now in our bodies will still be available—at His command. The same unique genetic code now embedded in each of our living cells will still be available to format new ones then. The miracle of the resurrection, wondrous as it will be, is marvelously matched by the miracle of our creation in the first place.

I also liked this:

Meanwhile, we who tarry here have a few precious moments remaining “to prepare to meet God.” Unfinished business is our worst business. Perpetual procrastination must yield to perceptive preparation. Today we have a little more time to bless others—time to be kinder, more compassionate, quicker to thank and slower to scold, more generous in sharing, more gracious in caring.

Then when our turn comes to pass through the doors of death, we can say as did Paul: “The time of my departure is at hand. I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith.”
