Moroni does just that in this last chapter of the Book of Mormon. This man has seen the destruction of hid nation - the Nephite people. He has been the keeper of the records and knows of the beautiful transformation that came to his nation at the visit of the Savior. And now they are gone - killed off by violent wars of revenge between two nations who were once the same family.
No wonder he is thinking of what could have been and about the teachings of Jesus. His people chose evil and he writes tell us that the destruction of an entire nation really can happen. Terrible things result when people reject the principles of happiness and let anger take over their lives.
He reminds us of the beautiful gifts that God wants to bestow:
- Wisdom
- Knowledge
- Faith
- Healing
All these come to those who trust in the Lord. Oh, why did his people not choose these?
He pleads to all who read his words, "Come unto Christ".
That is my plea to our fallen world, "Come unto Christ". Believe His words. Follow Him. Seek the God made man who walked among us because of His great love for us. He lives and loves us. He will heal all wounds if we let Him. We are safe with Him. He will give us rest.
This I know.
