Today I read 2 Nephi 6 which is the first chapter in the
Book of Mormon where Jacob is the speaker. He is teaching the people of
Nephi about the words of Isaiah and helping them to understand that they are
applicable to the people of Nephi because they are of the house of
Israel. Jacob goes on to let the people know that Jerusalem has already
been destroyed and that they were saved by the faithfulness of Lehi in bringing
them out of Jerusalem when he did. Jacob always struck me as a very
strong, stalwart individual. I would really have liked to have known him
and been his friend. He was so strong in the Gospel but he doesn’t seem
to be as overly righteous like Nephi always did. Maybe I am doing Nephi a
disservice, but he always seemed so unapproachable to me. Jacob on the
other hand, always seemed like he would be anyone’s friend and a really nice
man to be around. I look forward to meeting him one day. Until
tomorrow.
