Mosiah 3

As an introduction to my thoughts this morning, I have recently heard several saints complain about changes in Church traditions.  King Benjamin taught his people -

"...the Lord God saw that his people were a stiffnecked people, and he appointed unto them a law, even the law of Moses."  (Mosiah 3:14)

Why? For with  -

"...many signs, and wonders, and types, and shadows showed he unto them, concerning his coming; and also holy prophets spake unto them concerning his coming; and yet they hardened their hearts, and understood not that the law of Moses availeth nothing except it were through the atonement of his blood."  (Mosiah 3:15)

But the Jews couldn't deal with change and used the law of Moses to -

"...consider him a man, and say that he hath a devil, and shall scourge him, and shall crucify him."  (Mosiah 3:9)

Changes are made by the prophet to teach us a more holier way, or the Lord's way.
