0:00.0 | So this week in the Come Follow Me curriculum, we're going to be studying Second Nephi |
0:04.8 | chapters 1 through 5. This is the very end of Lehigh's life where he's now presenting the final |
0:11.5 | blessings, final exhortations to all of his posterity. He opens it up in chapter 1, speaking |
0:18.8 | with his sons, Lehman and Lemuel, and their children. He |
0:24.2 | also includes in their Sam and even Zoram. It's interesting that Nephi doesn't give us the |
0:31.4 | final blessing or the final exhortation from Lehi to himself. He gives us everybody else's blessing, |
0:38.3 | but he leaves his own out. It's also interesting to note that when Lehi dies in chapter |
0:44.2 | four, that event launches Nephi into probably one of the lowest points of his whole life, |
0:53.2 | where he opens up his heart to us, |
0:56.1 | the reader, and lets us know how difficult that was for him in what we traditionally call |
1:02.5 | Nephi's Psalm in the second half of Second Nephi chapter 4. So you can pay close attention |

1:18.9 | dad's gone, and those feelings of inadequacy and unworthiness, and then it's fascinating to |
1:25.2 | watch the process of how he comes out of that, of that deep |
1:31.2 | struggle that he's wrestling with. I want to focus on Second Nephi chapter 2, which happens |
1:38.9 | to be Lehi's exhortations and teachings to his firstborn in the wilderness, Jacob, who is going to be one |
1:48.0 | of the greatest doctrinaires in the scripture later on, giving us some incredible insight |
1:56.0 | into the atonement of Jesus Christ and pride and the role of men and women later on as |
2:03.6 | he becomes the prophet after Nephi. So here's this young boy. He's not married yet in |
2:10.1 | chapter 2 right before Lehii dies. And it's fascinating if you look carefully at chapter 2, |
2:16.0 | how it opens. He addresses him. He tells |
