Episode notes

The passage under discussion is known as the Upper Room discourse, named so because it took place in the upper room.
These words of Jesus are highly significant as they are considered as His last words before His suffering and reveal His will regarding immortality to His apostles.
Last words hold a special place in religious texts and the Upper Room discourse is no exception.
These chapters contain the teachings of Jesus to His apostles and are considered to be especially salient.

How does what Jesus teaches at the Last Supper that can help us through trials? Brother Robert Eaton explores how keeping covenants makes us free and how we consider how the Savior defines truth.
