Ch. 15 Verses 15-18
15. And O how beautiful upon the mountains are their feet!
16. And again, how beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of those that are still publishing peace!
17. And again, how beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of those who shall hereafter publish peace, yea, from this time henceforth and forever!
18. And behold, I say unto you, this is not all. For O how beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that is the founder of peace, yea, even the Lord, who has redeemed his people; yea, him who has granted salvation unto his people
I love these verses. It speaks of missionary work. To me at least. How beautiful missionary work is and how beautiful are those who serve missions proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus Christ. If you haven't listened to Elder Holland's talk he gave in Priesthood session, you need to. You need to LISTEN to it, not just read it. It is SO powerful. It is such a strong call for missionaries, a plea for them. I wish that all young men would listen up and follow the prophets of the Lord. I love that up until verse 18 Abinadi is speaking of those who go to proclaim the peace of the word of God, and then in verse 18, he talks about Christ Himself, the one who redeemed us. Redeem means to pay up, or give something for something else. Christ gave us His life for us, so that we can return to Him and our Father in Heaven. And those who go out and teach it are so blessed and so BEAUTIFUL. I am so grateful for those who serve worthily and readily.
Ch. 16 verse 13
"And now, ought ye not to tremble and repent of your sins, and remember that only in and through Christ ye can be saved?"
I know I ought to.
