“After His Resurrection, Jesus walked with two disciples on
the road to Emmaus. Luke records that when they reached their destination, the
Savior ‘made as though he would have gone further. But the two disciples
constrained him, saying, Abide with us.’ Those disciples invited the
resurrected Savior to abide with them. Without first the desire and then the
invitation, their hearts would not have been transformed, their eyes would not
have been opened to recognize Him, and they would not have returned to
Jerusalem to bear witness of the living Christ—the True Vine. My beloved
brothers and sisters, in a world of many voices, remaining connected to the
True Vine is not merely desirable; it is essential to our spiritual survival.
Those who abide in Jesus Christ come to recognize and trust His voice,
especially as it is spoken through those He has called to represent Him.” – Elder
Ulisses Soares
