President Nelson has promised, "Every sincere seeker of Jesus Christ will find Him in the temple." What if every ordinance, symbol, and teaching in the temple pointed directly to Jesus Christ—and you could learn to see Him more clearly each time you entered His house? In Finding Christ in the Temple, beloved author and teacher Alonzo L. Gaskill shows that the temple is not about hidden codes or obscure rituals, but about the Savior Himself, who is at the very heart of every covenant and ordinance.
Drawing on years of temple study and personal worship, Gaskill invites readers to discover how the temple reveals Christ in powerful and practical ways. From baptismal fonts resting on oxen, to sacred clothing, to the endowment’s covenant path, each element teaches of the Lord’s character, His atoning mission, and His desire to walk with us in holiness. With clarity and accessibility, the book highlights how recent changes in temple worship have placed Christ more visibly at the center, making His mercy and love unmistakable.
This book is not an academic treatise but a devotional guide that helps you recognize Christ’s presence in His holy house and carry that awareness into your daily life. As you read, you’ll be invited to deepen your worship, strengthen your discipleship, and truly find Christ in the temple.
