What would you picture if I asked you to think of the Restoration of the gospel of Jesus Christ?

Would you think of Joseph and Emma Smith in a log cabin?

Would you picture the Kirtland temple being built?

Would you think of saints gathered in Nauvoo?

Those are great images of certain aspects of the gospel being restored.

But did you know you could also picture yourself right now?

You.

Doing your ministering, serving your family, sitting in church on Sunday, or listening to General Conference…

You are part of the Restoration, too.

Like, really.

The 9th Article of Faith reminds us: “We believe all that God has revealed, all that He does now reveal, and we believe that He will yet reveal many great and important things pertaining to the Kingdom of God.”

How have you seen the Restoration roll forward just in your own lifetime?

After you think about that, try asking someone older than you how much the Church and their understanding of the gospel has changed throughout their life.

The change is real.

The progression is real.

The Restoration of the gospel of Jesus Christ is ongoing!

The Restoration Proclamation reminds us: “We gladly declare that the promised Restoration goes forward through continuing revelation.”

It might not seem as dramatic as some of the events that Joseph Smith experienced…

But that doesn’t mean revelations aren’t coming step-by-step.

Are you ready and listening for the next steps closer to God?

“When our time in mortality is complete, what experiences will we be able to share about our own contribution to this significant period of our lives and to the furthering of the Lord’s work?” – Elder Uchtdorf
