In the Book of Mormon we read that Nephi spoke plainly concerning the doctrine of Christ. The Lord gives light to the understanding of men and speaks to them according to heir language. 2 Nephi 31:1-3 "And now I, Nephi, make an end of my prophesying unto you, my beloved brethren. And I cannot write but a few things, which I know must surely come to pass; neither can I write but a few of the words of my brother Jacob. Wherefore, the things which I have written sufficeth me, save it be a few words which I must speak concerning the doctrine of Christ; wherefore, I shall speak unto you plainly, according to the plainness of my prophesying. For my soul delighteth in plainness; for after this manner doth the Lord God work among the children of men. For the Lord God giveth light unto the understanding; for he speaketh unto men according to their language, unto their understanding."
In the Old Testament we read that Jehoiada made a covenant with the Lord that they would be the Lord's people. Then the people of the land went to the house of Baal and broke it down, destroyed the altars and images, and killed the priest of Baal. 2 Kings 11:17-18 "And Jehoiada made a covenant between the Lord and the king and the people, that they should be the Lord's people; between the king also and the people. And all the people of the land went into the house of Baal, and brake it down; his altars and his images brake they in pieces thoroughly, and slew Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars. And the priest appointed officers over the house of the Lord."
A verse with a thought booklet tells us that blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted. Those of us who have lost loved ones know what it is to mourn. Mourning is a part of life. But we can know that the Lord will comfort us if we will turn to Him. We'll never get over losing our loved one, but we can get through it with His help. And eventually we'l be reunited with them. And what a joyful day that will be. Matthew 5:4 "Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted."
