1 Nephi 1:9
Glory- Sharing the light.
What
Lehi saw One (Jesus) descending out of
heaven. He beheld his luster was above that of the sun at noon-day.
Why
Lehi was about to receive a great
message. He was having a vision and seeing Christ descending affirms
the authenticity of his vision. Seeing his luster would confirm his
divinity.
Pattern
Joseph Smith saw this luster and
described it as whose brightness and glory defy all description. And
that the light was above the brightness of the sun.
Acts 26:13 Paul recounts his vision. “I
saw a light from heaven above the brightness of the sun, shining
round about me.
Revelations 1:16 John sees the Lord and
said “His countenance was as the sun shineth in His strength.
JSH:30 Joseph Smith describes Moroni,
his robe was of exquisite whiteness beyond anything earthly. His
whole person was glorious beyond description and His countenance like
lightening.” The room was exceedingly light but mostly around his
person.
D&C 76:70 Whose bodies are
celestial whose glory is that of the sun, even the glory of God the
highest of all
D&C 58:3 Glory follows much
tribulation.
Christ
Isa. 6:3 The whole earth is full of His
Glory
Rev. 1:16
John sees the Lord and said “His
countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.”
Acts 26:13 see quote above.
JSH:30 All tell of the glory of His
countenance.
Apply-
the glory we seek
to earn in this life is to be like Him.
D&C 58:3-4
4...after much
tribulations cometh the blessings, wherefore the day cometh that ye
shall be crowned with much glory...
To obtain this
glory, we must be faithful in our trials and see the big picture of
the Celestial Kingdom as the reward for remaining strong and
steadfast and to do what is right. Not murmuring! Share the glory.
