Ether was the last great prophet of the Jaredite civilization. The Book of Mormon describes him as a man who could not be stopped from prophesying “because the Spirit of the Lord which was in him” was so strong (Ether 12:2). Day after day, he stood in front of a divided and hostile society, urging them to repent and take advantage of the life-changing power of faith and hope in Jesus Christ. It would have been easy for Ether to stop speaking out. After all, no one was listening. But Ether showed us that we must stay true to our purpose regardless of the outcome. Even when he was forced to hide in a cave for his own safety, Ether spent his final days on earth finishing his work, tracking his people’s history, and trusting that his words would eventually help future generations. Share in the comments one way you find the courage to stand up for what is right, even when it feels like it won’t make a difference. #TheBookOfMormon
