3 Nephi 15


Verses 1-10
The Law of Moses

What do these verses reveal about the atonement?

Jesus says, "I am the law, and the light," and it's true, because Jesus provided the law in order to point the people toward the atonement, THE sacrifice. The law taught people principles of justice and mercy and vicarious sacrifice, and helped them to order their lives around them. Now the Savior takes His place as the apex of their lives, just where He needs to be in order to save them. A beautiful thing.

Lesson for me?
*"Look unto me and endure to the end". Keep in the covenant with Christ. Trust in Him and rely on Him.

Verses 11-24:
Other Sheep
What do these verses reveal about the atonement?
One fold. One Shepherd. One way. The atonement gave Christ the power and authority to save and gather His people. Like a gardener, He has nurtured new strains of His people when branches became corrupt and helped them begin anew in purity. Thus the "other sheep".

Lesson for me?
*The Lord is in His vineyard. Have faith in Him. Be a light to those around you. The Lord was sometimes cautious about disclosing information, and in some interactions it's appropriate for you to be as well. Be wise.
