While listening to the October General Conference on Sunday, I briefly nodded off.
Due to insomnia, I had gotten little rest the night before.
Anyhow, during that brief moment asleep, I saw a man who I realize now was a water-bearer around whom were gathered a crowd.
"I bring water," he said, "to share with everyone freely so that those of you who drink of it may live."
Having said that, he carefully filled a cup with water from a large water bag on his back, and let each person who had assembled before him drink from the cup.
Then I awoke, and realized that the man was Jesus Christ. Through this dream, God was reminding me of the importance of General Conference to each and everyone who listens to, and/or studies the conferences.
Through all the speakers at the General Conference God is conveying his love for us all. Just as the conference speakers share good news about Jesus, so too is Christ Jesus pouring out his love for all mankind through his atonement, and who sacrificed his life so that we may have eternal life. That love is expressed in Mark 22:37-40 when Jesus says:
"...Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
"This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
"On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets."
For these two commandments confirm that God is pouring out his love for mankind through the Christ Jesus.
