Even in the Book of Mormon, in the Psalm of Nephi (2 Nephi), Nephi exclaims "Oh wretched man that I am!" I think that if these wonderful prophets feel the need to repent and cry in anguish, then how much more great is our need? I think part of our "jobs" in mortality is to become more like the Savior and to BE ABLE to recognize Him. If we don't KNOW Him, then we will not recognize Him, but I think that we should react very humbly and very much the way Isaiah did. You didn't mention it much in the above discussion of Isaiah, but one of my favorite underlying themes of Isaiah is that the Lord's arm is outstretched still. No matter how wicked Israel was (or we are), the Savior is there reaching for us....if we do as your discussion states...endure the pain of repentence and come unto Him.<br />I very much enjoyed this post, and I just felt that I should go off on my small little tangent. I love the thought provoking questions that you asked.Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00061653861598920225noreply@blogger.com
