Since the is time well 2 though the D&C (i have read it once, my roommates and I are reading it and I am also reading it for class) something things have poped out at me.
in section 1, it is started off proclaiming what the book is about and "37 Search these commandments, for they are true and faithful, and the prophecies and promises which are in them shall all be fulfilled." I do know as i have studied this book, and so excited to be restuding it for a class and with my roommates that what is said IS TRUE. With all my heart.
We have the Old Testiment, the New Testiment, Another Testiment (the Book of Mormon) and then we have Our Testiment (The D&C)
I love verse 23 in section 1. "That the fulness of my gospel might be proclaimed by the weak and the simple unto the ends of the world, and before kings and rulers" It goes to show that this work will be done and you do not have to be someone GREAT AND WONDERFUL to be able to stand up for what you believe in. That verse also reminds me of "by small and simple things are great things brought to pass." So by those lowley and meek, those who have been humbled shall bring forth the greatness of the gosple all over the world. His work will be done. Just remember, Joseph Smith was just 14 when he prayed in the grove and asked which church was the right one. Anyone can be that person to take what we know and proclaime it on high to everyone so everyone can know of the truthfullness of the gosple.
Section 2 being simple and short just make me want to shout out I LOVE THE PRIESTHOOD. Really I have to post the 3 verses that is the section.
1 Behold, I will reveal unto you the Priesthood, by the hand of Elijah the prophet, before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord.
2 And he shall plant in the hearts of the children the promises made to the fathers, and the hearts of the children shall turn to their fathers.
3 If it were not so, the whole earth would be utterly wasted at his coming.
If not so, the WHOLE EARTH would be UTTERLY wasted. It reminds me of a little thing that my friend Mike did once. I wish I could remember the whole thing. But it had to do with nails and trying to get them to stand up on a little container but only one nail could touch the container. Well I am not going to ruin it, but the nails symbolized parts of the gosple. And one nail was the priesthood and once you remove that one nail all the nails fall apart. That little object lession has stuck with me. Without the priesthood, nothing can be.
I am way excited about this blog. If you have anything thoughts of comments or anything to do with these sections please share. So we can all learn and grow in the gosple of our Lord and become the deciples of Christ we were born to be.
