General Conference Applied "Bridging the Two Great Commandments"
6/30/2024: Elder Gary E. Stevenson, April 2024 General Conference, "Bridging the Two Great Commandments".
Mitch identified the following invitations and shared ideas for taking action:
1. "I invite you to look at this stately bridge [the Golden Gate Bridge]—with its ascending twin towers built on a strong foundation—through a gospel lens. ... In the days ahead, when you pass over a majestic suspension bridge or even when you see a picture, with its soaring towers, I invite you to remember the two great commandments, described by Jesus Christ in the New Testament. May the Lord’s instructions inspire us. May our hearts and minds be lifted upward to love the Lord and turned outward to love our neighbor.”
2. "Let’s examine each of the two great commandments, revealed and recited in Jesus Christ’s response. As we do so, let the image of the magnificent suspension bridge resonate in your mind’s eye.”
3. "So the question for each of us is, How do we build our own bridge of faith and devotion—erecting tall bridge towers of both loving God and loving our neighbors? Well, we just start. Our initial efforts might look like a plan on the back of a napkin or an early-stage blueprint of the bridge we hope to construct. It might consist of a few realistic goals to understand the Lord’s gospel more or to vow to judge others less. No one is too young or too old to begin.”
