Sermon on the Mount

Jesus the Christ

Chapter 19: “He Spake Many Things unto Them in Parables”

James E. Talmage

That the lesson of the parables was comprehensible through study, prayer and search was intimated in the Teacher’s admonishment: “Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.”m To the more studious inquirers, the Master added: “Take heed what ye hear: with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you: and unto you that hear shall more be given.

Jesus the Christ

Chapter 22: A Period of Darkening Opposition

James E. Talmage

Through direct revelation from God Peter knew that Jesus was the Christ; and upon revelation, as a rock of secure foundation, the Church of Christ was to be built.e Though torrents should fall, floods roll, winds rage, and all beat together upon that structure, it would not, could not, fall, for it was founded upon a rock;f and even the powers of hell would be impotent to prevail against it.
