Which Team's jersey will you Wear?

The other day I read this quote by Jeffrey R. Holland and it hit me like a ton of bricks!
“The FUTURE of this world has long been DECLARED; the final outcome between GOOD and evil is already KNOWN. There is absolutely no question as to who WINS because the VICTORY has already been posted on the SCOREBOARD. The only really strange thing in all of this is that we are still down here on the FIELD trying to decide which TEAM’S JERSEY we want to wear!”
The thought of not choosing the correct team's jersey seems ridiculous, yet that is what many of us do at times!
Brother David A. Christensen shared the following scripture, asking us to note the PAST TENSE....

32 And I also remember that thou HAST SAID THAT THOU HAS PREPARED A HOUSE FOR MAN, yea, even among the mansions of thy Father, in which man might have a more excellent hope; wherefore man must hope, or he cannot receive an inheritance in the place which thou hast prepared. (Ether 12:32)

PAST TENSE - In other words, our mansion is already prepared!  There should be no question as to which team's jersey we will wear!!!  


So when times get hard, and life seems almost not worth living, 
let's remember to chose CHRIST - 
because we already have a mansion prepared with him!
