Today's Favorite Verse: Helaman 13:7
"And behold, an angel of the Lord hath declared it unto me, and he did bring glad tidings to my soul. And behold, I was sent unto you to declare it unto you also, that ye might have glad tidings; but behold ye would not receive me."
I had not noticed this before in the story of Samuel the Lamanite. He originally came to preach to the Nephites glad tidings, but he was rejected and cast out. He came back and now gave them a warning. The glad tidings of the coming birth of Savior, that would atone for our sins, was now a warning of their need to repent or destruction would come upon them. Nothing could save them but repentance and faith on the Lord Jesus Christ. I wondered how different that message would have been to those that were righteous and wanted to receive a prophet.
