Luke 17:11-19

 

To me, Doctrine and Covenants 101:8 has always been one of the most striking passages in that volume of scripture:

 

“In the day of their peace they esteemed lightly my counsel; but, in the day of their trouble, of necessity they feel after me.”

 

The episode in the Savior’s life recorded at Luke 17:11-19 is a clear illustration of that principle — and it’s altogether too humanly familiar.

 

I doubt that I’m alone in thinking that the Lord’s description applies much too accurately to me.
