JS - History 1

Though the Prophet does not specifically mention it in his scriptural history, my thoughts this morning as I read of Emma and Joseph's death of their first child, what it must have meant as he translated the words of Mormon-

"Listen to the words of Christ, your Redeemer, your Lord and your God. Behold, I came into the world not to call the righteous but sinners to repentance; the whole need no physician, but they that are sick; wherefore, little children are whole, for they are not capable of committing sin; wherefore the curse of Adam is taken from them in me, that it hath no power over them..."  (Moroni 8:8)

"And their little children need no repentance, neither baptism. Behold, baptism is unto repentance to the fulfilling the commandments unto the remission of sins.
12 But little children are alive in Christ, even from the foundation of the world..."  (Moroni 8:11–12)

I'm sure he couldn't wait to read these words to Emma.
