S4 E44 Walking in His Light: Becoming, Christ, and Light with Anthony Sweat (D&C 93)

Correction! Section 93 was received while Joseph and Emma Smith were living in the Whitney Store, not the Whitney Home.

In this section Kerry Muhlestein and Anthony Sweat explore the reception of the amazing revelation we call Section 93. They trace how revelations like Sections 76, 84, and 88 lead to the flood of light about light that is in Section 93. They delve into what it means for Christ to receive grace for grace and go from grace to grace. They investigate the repeated teachings about receiving a "fulness" that is taught in this revelation, and how one can become a being that reaches its full capacity. They explore teachings about light and what it means for us. They also look into the interrelationship between this revelation and the writings of John. This helps us understand how light and truth are from and are Christ, and thus how Christ is part of everything around us and part of us and how we can make that even more the case as we become joint heirs. They look at our journey towards holiness and how Christ must be the most important part of our path towards holiness. They show us how Christ is our exemplar in receiving grace, light and a fulness, and how we can become Christlike through Christ and all these things. They discuss how our natures can be transformed and how Christ shows us the way and is the way.
