The book of Ether truly is among my most favorite. I love
the faith and humility of the brother of Jared. He wasn’t a perfect man and
like many of us he went through a period of time where he became lax in his
relationship with God. The Lord came down and talked with him for a period of
three hours, and chastened him, the scriptures say, because he forgot to call
upon the Lord. At least he had enough faith that he could hear the Lord. I
became deaf in my coasting, as I called it, and it took several good servants
of the Lord to reach me. I am so grateful for them.
The brother of Jared had enough faith that he saw the finger
of the Lord. I am amazed by this and so grateful we have this record. There are
many things we learn from the record of this experience, but this morning I focus
on one. “I am Jesus Christ. I am the Father and the Son. In me shall all mankind
have life and that eternally, even they who shall believe on my name; and they
shall become my sons and my daughters.” (Ether
3:14)
