Scripture Blog

This weblog is my personal online scripture journal. I try to read the scriptures each morning as I exercise on my cross-trainer. It has a great impact on my life and my testimony of the Savior and his restored church. The journal is really for my own benefit but I have set it up as a web log in hopes to benefit anyone else that may be interested. "For he that diligently seeketh shall find; and the mysteries of God shall be unfolded unto them, by the power of the Holy Ghost..." 1 Nephi 10:19

JS - History 1

Though the Savior said -

"Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist..."  (Matthew 11:11)

That being the case, I was highly impressed with the humble words of John -

"Upon you my fellow servants..."  (Joseph Smith—History 1:69)

...and -

"...that he acted under the direction of Peter, James and John..."  (Joseph Smith—History 1:72)

Obvious without pride.
