![]() This is the passion I feel has been injected into the Church by studying Isaiah in five weeks of “Come, Follow Me.” Isaiah has been made more approachable and understandable, and our children will grow up without the associated negativity. I said to the CEO, “We stand in honor of Jesus Christ.” He leapt to his feet. When the musicians are passionate, the audience feels the power of the words and music with increased intensity. Doreen Rao, a distinguished conductor gave her reason why the people stood: “I think it’s because everyone who performs it takes complete and passionate ownership of the music’’ ( ). I think King George and the people felt the power of the words and music and were standing in honor of the King of Kings, Lord of Lords. Some say he might have stood because of fatigue after having sat for so long and that the audience stood in deference to the king. ![]() The CEO stayed seated and said to me in a begrudging voice, “Why do people stand for this piece just because some king stood hundreds of years ago?” He was referring to the traditional story that at the London premiere in 1743, King George II stood, followed by the rest of the audience. As the familiar strains filled the ornate hall, people began to stand. The closing number was Handel’s “Hallelujah” chorus. The CEO and his wife took us to the symphony. I had an experience a few years ago that showed me how enthusiastic I should be about Isaiah’s words. Did I appreciate Isaiah’s gift as a poet? No, although I knew George Frideric Handel made Isaiah’s words exquisite when set to inspired music. Did I read Isaiah carefully? Not carefully enough. Did I pray to understand Isaiah? Not much. Obviously, I hadn’t done my part to fulfill Nephi’s prophecy in my own life. I feel guilty that I spoke those faithless words to museum visitors. Now that we have finished five weeks of studying Isaiah as a Church, I have had confirmed to me that I had no faith in Nephi’s words that Isaiah’s words would be “of great worth unto them in the last days for in that day shall they understand them” (2 Nephi 25:8). I encourage you to keep pushing through Isaiah, or you can just skip those chapters.” Many people get bogged down in Isaiah and stop reading. “About two-thirds of the way through the book is the account of Jesus Christ’s ministry among these people after His resurrection.” Then I’d finish with Moroni’s promise in Moroni 10:3-5 and add a caution: “As in the Bible, there are chapters written by Isaiah in the Book of Mormon. Then turning through a few more paintings, I’d stop on the painting of Christ in America and continue. The subtitle is “Another Testament of Jesus Christ” because He, Jesus Christ, was the central focus of these ancient people’s lives.”īy this time, I would have turned to the painting of Jesus in the front pages of the book. I would hold up the cover and say: “The Book of Mormon is named after the prophet Mormon who abridged records kept by ancient prophets who lived in America from 600 B.C. I would go to the front desk, get a copy, and ask if he or she had two minutes for an overview. (six, seven, nine, two) DIST.When I was a docent in the Church History Museum, sometimes a visitor would ask for a copy of the Book of Mormon.
