Week 13: Doctrine and Covenants 29
Jesus Christ will gather his people. In this week’s lesson, verse 2 describes “as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings”, such nurturing, tender imagery. It isn’t His desire or intention to leave any behind. He isn’t trying to weed anyone out. He would scoop every one of us up:
“… even as many as will hearken to my voice and humble themselves before me, and call upon me in mighty prayer.”
The beauty of this is not only in the hen’s gathering, but in the little chicks who scurry to the safety of the wings, knowing and trusting their protection. In the family, God has given His children a pattern for nurturing, protection and safety. Running for trusted cover within these righteous principles is the first place we can gather.
