1 Nephi 1:10
Follow Christ- Eternal Glory
What
Lehi saw twelve
others descending , following Christ (whose luster was above that of
the noon-day sun. the 12 were following him and their brightness
exceeded the stars.
Why
Christ called 12
apostles and gave them the keys of heaven and the power of the
priesthood. Their brightness is a result of their righteousness.
See Daniel 12:13
At the time Lehi
had his vision they were not yet born but they were chosen and fore
ordained.
Pattern
Dan 12:13 And they
that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they
that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.
Isa 62:1
Righteousness go forth as brightness.
Abraham 4:4
divided the light, or caused it to be divided from darkness
[so...righteousness shows as brightness because it is divided from
darkness}
D&C 65:5
Clothed in
brightness of His glory.
Christ
He brought the 12
with Him to present the book to Lehi. He chose them in the
pre-mortal life.
Apply
As the 12 followed
Christ and came to Lehi and were as bright as the stars- so I will
follow Christ- Do his work and the more righteous we become and
divided from evil then the brighter (to an earthly degree) will be
our countenance and eventually in the here-after we can achieve the
celestial glory and receive the brightness given to the righteous.

Under Fire
President Eyering
“And that same
sociality which exists among us here will exist among us there, only
it will be crowned with eternal glory, which glory we do not now
enjoy.
10/11 The Divine
Gift of Repentance- Elder Todd D. Christoffereson
With repentance we
can steadily improve in our capacity to live the celestial law, for
we recognize that “he who is not able to abide the law of a
celestial kingdom cannot abide a celestial glory (D&C 88:22)

Meet Again
President Monson
May we be people
of honesty and integrity, trying to do the right thing at all times
and I all circumstances. May we be faithful followers of Christ,
examples of righteousness, thus becoming “lights in the world”.
