26 And the angel said unto me...1 Nephi 11:26,32-34<br /> 26 And the angel said unto me again: Look and behold the condescension of God!<br /> 32 And I looked and beheld the Lamb of God, that he was taken by the people; yea, the Son of the everlasting God was judged of the world; and I saw and bear record.<br /> 33 And I, Nephi, saw that he was lifted up upon the cross and slain for the sins of the world.<br /> 34 And after he was slain I saw the multitudes of the earth, that they were gathered together to fight against the apostles of the Lamb; for thus were the twelve called by the angel of the Lord.<br /><br /><br />1828 Webster's Dictionary definition for condescension:<br /><br />CONDESCENSION, noun<br />Voluntary descent from rank, dignity or just claims; relinquishment of strict right; submission to inferiors in granting requests or performing acts which strict justice does not require. Hence, courtesy.<br />It forbids pride and commands humility, modesty and condescension to others.<br />Raphael, amidst his tenderness, shows such a dignity and condescension in all his behavior, as are suitable to a superior nature.<br /><br />So when the text says that Jesus condescended, this was clear to anyone living in the 1830's that the text was indicating that Jesus had voluntarily stepped down from a higher rank than the rest of us to kindly help us out.JPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02993976374069209015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1205773018799890263.post-64622369048071834582017-02-06T17:01:02.781-07:002017-02-06T17:01:02.781-07:00Thank you.

If ...Just a couple more scriptures for your post. <br /><br />If you look in the JST, Matthew 11:28 changes "they to whom the Son will reveal him." to "they to whom the Son will reveal himself; they shall see the Father also."<br /><br />The parallel account in JST Luke 10:23 states, "and no man knoweth that the Son is the Father, and the Father is the Son, but him to whom the Son will reveal it."Ranaenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1205773018799890263.post-42869802262409047412017-02-04T13:16:03.583-07:002017-02-04T13:16:03.583-07:00I used to think the sun rose and set on Bruce McCo...I used to think the sun rose and set on Bruce McConkie and I had all his books and read them like scripture. I have since thrown them all away - not donated to DI where they could infect others but thrown in the garbage. I have come see McConkie as an egotistical bastard who was in love with his position as a General Authority which allowed him to dictate to others what to believe and what to do. He is now dead and I hope he is getting his just reward for preaching false and damning doctrines.<br /><br />You are absolutely right on with your comments on praying to Jesus and having a personal relationship with him. That is what Joseph was trying to tell us...over and over and over. It is at-one-ment with Him that matters. It is the only thing that matters. He is our Father and we should pray to Him as such. <br /><br />Excellent post!
