"And again I say unto you, is there one among you that doth make a mock of his brother, or that heapeth upon him persecutions?
Wo unto such an one, for he is not prepared, and the time is at hand that he must repent or he cannot be saved!"
Alma 5:30-31
This is a good question that Alma poses for us to think about. It's pretty easy to fall into the mockery trap and make fun of people who like things that we think are silly, or who act, dress, behave, look, vote, worship, eat, speak, or sin differently than we do.
Today, let's do as God asks and sincerely work on loving everyone, and esteeming them as ourselves. Let's try to see things from other perspectives, and be careful to respect others, to avoid mocking, and to repent of the mistakes we have made previously.
