Mosiah 2: 1-6
I have a completely different perception of the people who gathered to hear king Benjamin speak than I used to have. I used to think of them as just people who lived in his kingdom. Now I recognize them as a people who have participated in the establishment of a righteous kingdom and have been enjoying the benefits of peace and prosperity there for some time. They are a people who have individually been striving for righteousness.They come to hear their king eagerly and with great desire to make use of the temple where the meeting is taking place.
