2 Nephi 6 – 7
Jacob tells the people that Jerusalem has been destroyed and the people taken captive and scattered, but that the promises of the lord to them are still great and they will be redeemed.
I felt the need to continue to chapter 7 and as I read I felt the desire that I could be like the savior in His endless power to redeem and to deliver from evil. Obviously I cannot do as He did in delivering the souls of men, but the power over evil that is inherent in the priesthood has been given to men and is most tellingly manifest in the sealing power such as was given to Nephi – that is what I want and it is a characteristic that is enjoyed by all who have been exalted.
