When the resurrected Christ appeared to the Nephi’s on the
American continent he taught them the sayings and parables he had taught in
Jerusalem. As he taught he perceived that some had questions in regard to the
Law of Moses “for they understood not the saying that old things had passed
away, and that all things had become new.” (3 Nephi 15:2)
“The law is fulfilled that was
given unto Moses. Behold I am he that gave the law, and I am he who covenanted
with my people Israel; therefore, the law in me is fulfilled, for I have come
to fulfill the law; therefore, it hath an end. Behold I do not destroy the
prophets…”(3 Nephi 15:4-6)
“The covenant which I have with my
people is not all fulfilled…Behold I am the law and the light. Look unto me and
endure to the end, and ye shall live…” (3 Nephi 15:8-9)
In other words, at the time this
was given in A.D. 34 there were still changes to be made. Since that time hasn’t
there come a falling away – the dark ages? And hasn’t there come a renewal, a
restoration of the law of the gospel of Jesus Christ? God knows where we are in
this process. The question is where are we? Are we still in the dark ages
waiting for the restoration? Or are we
part of the work that is going on to prepare ourselves and our loved ones for
the eventual second coming of Jesus Christ?
