I heard Elder McConkie give this talk. He was very ill and knew he was not long for this world. He passed away less than two week after he delivered this message. To this day the final remark is one of the most powerful testimonies I have ever heard and never fails to bring tears to my eyes. One of my all time favorites. In print: "And as pertaining to Jesus Christ, I testify that he is the Son of the Living God who was crucified for the sins of the world. He is our Lord, our God, and our King. This I know of myself independent of any other person. I am one of his Witnesses. And in the coming day I will feel the nail marks in his hands and in his feet and shall wet his feet with my tears. But I shall not know any better then than I know now that he is God's almighty Son and he is our Savior and Redeemer and that Salvation comes in and through his atoning blood and in no other way."
