Another Testament of Jesus Christ.


Last week, I started to read the Book of Mormon. I have read it before and each time something new stands out to me. The Book of Mormon is a volume of scipture comparable to the Bible. As does the Bible, it contains the fullness of the everlasting gospel. The book was written by many ancient prophets. The first of these prophets was named Lehi. The Lord commanded Lehi to lead a small group of people from the ancient city of Jerusalem at about 600 B.C.. From Jerusalem, Lehi traveled accross the wilderness and the ocean to the American continent. Once arriving in the Americas, the people of Lehi established a great civilization and God continued to call prophets among them. The Book of Mormon is a collection of the writings of these ancient prophets on the American continent.
The crowning event in the Book of Mormon is the personal ministry of the Lord Jesus Christ to the people of Lehi soon after His death and resurrection in Jerusalem. Here in the Americas, Jesus Christ taught the people His gospel and formed His church among them. Multitudes were present durring the Saviors brief but powerful ministry among the decendants of Lehi. For centuries, the truths of the Lords gospel have been available to the world primarily through the Old and New Testament of the Bible. In our day, God has given us the Book of Mormon which stands as Another Testament of Jesus Christ.
