The effects
of wicked King Noah’s reign continued to plague his son Limhi as he tried to
make due under Lamanite bondage. King
Limhi’s people are a classic case of the sins of the fathers being passed on
with severe consequences to the next generation. Innocent suffering is perplexing to believers
and non-believers alike. Yet, believing
in the wisdom of a loving Father in Heaven allows the righteous who believe and
exercise faith to make it through life’s most bitter ironies. When Ammon came with his little band of
rescuers we see a type and a shadow of Christ’s loving and delivering
hand. King Limhi’s explicit faith in
Ammon’s ability to save them through God’s delivering power allowed the miracle
to happen. Likewise, if we exercise
faith in Christ’s saving and redeeming power we can weather our most difficult
tests, including suffering for the sins of the fathers.
