Spiritual Enlightenment 

 

BOOK OF MORMON CORNER - Today's Reading - 2 Nephi 25:14-26
Question - What have you learnt from the reading today? How do you talk, rejoice, preach and prophecy of Christ?  

My thoughts - I love these verses. The Nephites kept the law of moses, but it was dead to them because they lived by a higher order, a patriarchal order, but because Christ hadn't been born yet and offered in great and last sacrifice, the law of Moses was required and they obeyed it. They looked forward in faith to that day. I think of the importance of this record being kept through the whole 1000 year history. Nephi knew the importance of record keeping, he beheaded a man in order to obtain the records. Men who were not worthy still obeyed the need to keep a record and pass these plates down through generations. I love this verse, "I say unto you that the right way is to believe in Christ, and deny him not; and Christ is the Holy One of Israel; wherefore ye must bow down before him, and worship him with all your might, mind, and strength, and your whole soul; and if ye do this ye shall in nowise be cast out." Every thought, word and deed, I must follow His way. If I want to be numbered among his people and abide with the holy prophets I have to learn to become holy, & teach my family to do so too. "This life is the time for men to prepare to meet God" as Alma taught.

Another thing I learnt today was that it took diligent effort to write, talk, preach, persuade, convince. If I am to point others to Christ and His gospel, I better be a living example of it, and that will take sacrifice. Like King Lamoni's father, I will have to learn to give up all my sins to know Him. It will also mean giving up things that sap my time and energy that are of little or no eternal importance. And filling my home with light and truth, constant pointing myself and my family to things of eternal worth, always looking forward to eternity, while remembering our pre mortal heritage.

  

Tomorrow's Reading (Day 64) - 2 Nephi 25:27-26:11
Question - What have you learnt from the reading today? How can the Spirit help us to keep pride in check?

Have a lovely Friday, I hope you get everything done you need to get done.  Don't forget along the way of your day!
