“What is the value to us in knowing of these things that happened so long ago? I cannot speak for others, but when I read of the experiences of the brother of Jared there wells up within me a desire to have faith like he had and my testimony and love for the Lord increase. My soul ‘hungers’ and wants to feast upon the same kind of spiritual food that the brother of Jared ate. Reading the brief account … is an appetizer which arouses a desire to someday have such an experience myself” (Matthews, “Mission of Jesus Christ,” 28).
Do you feel the same way?
