"Come back. Come in. Come unto me."
I can think of no better Easter message than these words of President Thomas S. Monson as he spoke to the church membership a week ago at General Conference.
Come back. Could this apply to a wayward child who has rejected the teachings and values of her parents?
Come in. Could this apply to the individual who has had his feelings hurt and refuses to attend church any longer?
Come unto me. Could this apply to me? To all of us?
Yes. Yes. And, of course.
This I know for sure: we all have need to come unto Him.
He is always willing to reach out to us. We are the ones who turn away. Fortunately, we can always turn back.
