Mosiah 1 & 2

King Benjamin - a righteous king!

There is so much to learn from King Benjamin over today and tomorrow. Remember to learn, apply teachings to yourself, and to ask yourself how what you learn might help with your missionary purpose of inviting all to come unto Christ and receive the restored Gospel.

One thing we noticed is that King Benjamin asked his son Mosiah, to ask the people to come and hear him and they came.

How might that also be like General Conference coming up next month and gathering to listen to the Prophet?

King Benjamin models true leadership for them, reminding them that he has labored along side them and teaching them that when they serve each other they are serving God (Mosiah 2:17).

He outlines for them the pattern of Heavenly love and how no matter how much they do, and how much they praise God, they will still be indebted to Him.

He warns against contention, beginning to obey the evil spirit, as it may result in openly rebelling against God.

But he also promises a blessed and happy state to those that keep the commandments of God and how they will be blessed both temporally and spiritually which some consider their favorite Book of Mormon verse (Mosiah 2:41)!

These chapters are great and they set the stage for the continuation of one of the greatest sermons of all time!

Enjoy meeting King Benjamin!
