April 2015 Visiting Teaching Lesson: The Attributes of Jesus Christ--Without Guile or Hypocrisy

The second audience is anyone who has, or knows someone who has, seemingly received “personal revelation” from God to act in a particular way and then lambastes everyone for not acting in that expressed way.
