A quote in the Joseph Smith lesson about the martyrdom stood out to me yesterday. As he was counseling the apostles in the last months of his life, he said:
"Stand firm, my friends; never flinch. Do not seek to save your lives, for he that is afraid to die for the truth, will lose eternal life. Hold out to the end, and we shall be resurrected and become like Gods, and reign in celestial kingdoms, principalities, and eternal dominions."
The world will throw all sorts of epithets our way. They will try and discredit everything about the church and make us out to be fools for believing what we believe. I will concede that it is rarely easy to face opposition in the choices we make, but the day will come when everything that has been said and done against the Church of Jesus Christ will be shown in its true light, and those who have remained true and faithful to our Father in Heaven will receive the rewards He has promised.
