Chapter 26


With his prophetic mantle, Nephi is able to see the future and bear the sorrow of the loss of his people.  This destruction in about 400 A.D. comes as the Nephites reject Christ.  Yet, Nephi acknowledges that God is just.  He is also privileged to see Christ’s visit to America after his resurrection.  If I were able to see the future of my own family, would I be able to see the good and the bad with Nephi’s eye, understanding that God will take care of my family with mercy and justice?  It is my prayer that my family will remain true and faithful and be able to come unto Christ and partake of his goodness.  Meanwhile, I need to remain faithful myself, enduring to the end with dignity, patience, and cheerfulness.
