I know this is a recurring theme with me, but what I got out
of Isaiah’s description of the Savior that Abinidi was quoting was, again, how humble
He was and how far I have to go to be like him. No matter what happened, he meekly
took it. Not to say that there are not times when it is appropriate to fight, but
it’s probably almost never, instead of the almost always I tend towards. Like last
night when I was mad at the neighbor kid for leaving a mess in the road, but Omar
went and talked to him then helped -him clean it up and made a friend—definitely
the more Christ-like response. I always take everything so personally and angrily.
But when you review the Savior’s life, he just humbly took it all with no complaint
because He loved us, and because He loved the people causing the offense more than
he needed to be strong and right. If there was ever anyone who didn’t deserve what
happened it was Him, but that wasn’t His reaction at all. So how can it be mine?
Mosiah 14
