Jacob 6 & 7 (not 67 🤣)

Goodbye to Nephi’s Brother Jacob!

Jacob 6 - Mercy After Laboring in the Vineyard

Jacob summarizes the Allegory of the Olive Tree. He pleads with the people to repent and accept God's arm of mercy, reminding us that the Lord will reward His faithful, hard-working servants. Let’s be that as we fulfill our missionary purpose!

Jacob 7 - Defending the Faith

An anti-Christ named Sherem arrives, preaching that there is no Christ and demanding a sign from Jacob. What is so annoying about the Sherem’s is that they are hard working (“…he labored diligently that he might lead away the hearts of the people…”)! So we have to be just as diligent to have the Lord’s help to overcome them!

Remember Jacob could not be shaken!

How can you get where you cannot be shaken?

Jacob 6:3

“How blessed are they who have labored diligently in his vineyard…”

Jacob 6:3

Jacob 7:5

...And he had hope to shake me from the faith, notwithstanding the many revelations and the many things which I had seen concerning these things... wherefore, I could not be shaken.

Jacob 7:5

You will meet skeptics, critics, and anti-Christs like Sherem on your mission.

This verse should remind all of us that an anchor built on personal spiritual experiences cannot be shaken by anyone's arguments.

Have a great P-Day!
