3 Nephi 7

(May 25, 2010)
I was struck by the description that Mormon gave as to why the people hated Nephi – they hated him because they realized that he had more power than they did.  It seems like those who lust for power are enraged by those who aren’t under their power and by those who are more powerful.  It is one of the reasons why the powerful consume each other.  It is also one of the reasons why some of the ‘elites’ hate God.
