Why is Jesus the “keeper of the gate”?

Thomas R. Valletta

“I will tell you … out of the conviction of my soul … what I think the major reason is [why he ‘employeth no servant there’], as contained in another Book of Mormon scripture which says he waits for you ‘with open arms.’ (Mormon 6:17.) That’s why he’s there! … That imagery is too powerful to brush aside. … He does wait for us with open arms, because his love of us is perfect” (Maxwell, “But a Few Days,” 7).
