The concept of infinity is often misunderstood within the context of eternity, Elder Dale G. Renlund taught at the Jordan Institute of Religion on Sunday, April 19.

Elder Renlund, a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, was accompanied by his wife, Sister Ruth L. Renlund, as they spoke to young adults in the western part of the Salt Lake Valley.

As Elder Renlund taught about the limitless power that Jesus Christ has as the Savior, he showed that the Savior’s ability to help individuals is not reduced when He offers some of that help to others. Elder Renlund said that the Lord’s power is not like a cake with a finite number of pieces. His power, instead, is endless.

“Our despondency and weeping in this world can be turned to boundless joy and rejoicing because of Jesus Christ, His mercy and love,” he said.
