2 Nephi 18-21

"There is no light in them"-2 Nephi 18:20

How sad would it be to have absolutely no light in you. We all have a responsibility to share the gospel and share the light that we have with others. The cool thing about light is that by sharing your light with others, it doesn't make your light dimmer. Lets all share the happiness we have.

"The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light; they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined" -2 Nephi 19:2

Going along with this other scripture, this one talks about how those without light used to have it, but lost it. How sad this is! How sad would it be to have the gospel, or have some sort of happiness and to lose all of it.

"For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder; and his name shall be called, Wonderful, Counselor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace" -2 Nephi 19:6

We've all heard this scripture many times. We've all heard the Tabernacle Choir sing this line around Christmas time, but how often do we examine it. One thing I think is cool from this passage is that all of the adjectives are capitalized. They aren't just describing Christ. They are naming him. Christ is the Prince of Peace. He is Wonderful. He is our Counselor. Think of how many other roles Christ plays in our life. He is always there. I am so grateful to him.
