Alma 4:18
I love what this says about why Alma retained the office of High Priest and what he intended to do after freeing himself from the obligations of the cheif judge’s seat. He went to go among the people and preach the word of God tonthem to stir them up in remembrance of their duty and to pull down the pride and craftiness among the people by bearing down in pure testimony. He delivered up he judgement seat in order to confine himself wholly to the high priesthood and the testimony of the word. It sounds great but I should remind myself that it is a heavy responsibility and more work than should be taken too lightly. It is a full and lifetime commitment.
