“On those days when we have special need of heaven’s help,
we would do well to remember one of the titles given to the Savior in the
epistle to the Hebrews. Speaking of Jesus’ more excellent ministry and why He
is the mediator of a better covenant filled with better promises, this
author—presumably the Apostle Paul—tells us that through His mediation and
Atonement, Christ became ‘an high priest of good things to come.’ Every one of
us has times when we need to know things will get better. Moroni spoke of it in
the Book of Mormon as hope for a better world. For emotional health and
spiritual stamina, everyone needs to be able to look forward to some respite,
to something pleasant and renewing and hopeful, whether that blessing be near
at hand or still some distance ahead. It is enough just to know we can get
there, that however measured or far away, there is the promise of good things
to come.” – Jeffrey R. Holland
