Hey friends! I like to read the Book of Mormon by theme sometimes, and have been reading through the book this summer with a friend. Our theme has been looking for Christ. Some of you reading this may know a lot about the Book of Mormon, but I'm sure there are those of you who have either never heard of it, or aren't very familiar with it.
The Book of Mormon is a book of scripture connected to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, or Mormons. The book is similar to the Bible, because it is a record of God's interactions with his people, through both experiences and sermons given by prophets of God. However, rather than taking place in the Old World, as the Old and New Testaments do, the Book of Mormon was written on the American continent. It is another testament of Jesus Christ. However, those who are first becoming acquainted with the book may have questions about the role of Christ in the Book of Mormon, as well as in the LDS (Mormon) religion.
The Book of Mormon is the keystone of my faith as a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and one I have become quite familiar with. I love learning more about my Savior Jesus Christ through study of the Book of Mormon (as well as the Bible), and will be sharing what I've been learning in my current read through. Like I said, this reading of the Book of Mormon is focused on looking for the Savior. This includes not only verses that directly talk about Jesus Christ, but also verses that are comparable to the Savior's life or attributes.
Hopefully these subsequent blog posts will be of use to those of you who are brand new to the book, as well as those of you who have already read through it many times.
So find yourself a copy of the Book of Mormon, grab a pen or marking pencil, and join us ;)
