2 Nephi 25

(February 5, 2015)

                Nephi states that his words are sufficient to teach any man the right way.  As a lawyer, I believe I have mentioned, absolute language always draws my attention.  And this section has very interesting absolute language – words sufficient to teach any man the right way.  

                Of course, as we examine Nephi’s words it becomes apparent that this absolute reading of his words is both legitimate and understandable.  If we read his words seriously, the Spirit will instruct us to bow to Christ (spiritually and physically).  If we do that, Christ will begin to teach us, and lead us along the way of discipleship.  Only if we reject Nephi’s words will they not teach us the right way – and then the problem is not his words but our choices.
