Mormon 9
Imagine the excitement of all those who are loosed from the bands of death because of the resurrection of Christ despite the fact that they had ever denied him while on the earth. Surely some will be ashamed by their denials, but I wonder if there will be any who wished that they had not been resurrected – or at least that they were not indebted to Christ for the gift. Mormon definitely instructed Moroni to write about the lack of faith that would prevail in this day. As Moroni writes these words he believes they are the final words that he will leave in this sacred record. I believe that his final words in Moroni 10 convey the same basic message but display how much he has grown over years of wandering alone and translating and abridging the record of Ether. This version of the message is not so polished as the later one.
