Note the unique things that Abinadi teaches in this chapter
about the Savior when compared to previous Book of Mormon teachings about Him: He is the Father and the Son; he would gain
victory over death and have the power to make intercession for the children of
men; His atonement would make Him compassionate towards the children of men; He
would ascend into heaven; those who have believed the prophets and looked
forward to His day are His seed; those of the first resurrection and little
children will have eternal life through Christ.
Both Nephi and King Benjamin had taught powerfully about the Savior’s
life and mission. Abinadi touches
briefly on that, but focuses more on the impact the Atonement would have on the
world. Incredible speech!
