I expect that Abinadi found consolation for himself as he talked about those who have published peace—or in other words have prophesied of Christ—because he knew himself to be among that group who would be blessed for so doing.

We must always keep in mind that Christ was wounded for us—sometimes with us but often in place of us—and it is with His stripes that we can be healed. Our stripes at best can lead to scars. His stripes can lead to perfection.

We have come to associate course language with taking the name of God in vain and certainly sometimes that is exactly what it is but it seems so clear as I read tonight that another, more damning form of breaking that commandment is doing what the priests of Noah did in taking the role of…
