In the Promised Land, aged Lehi begins a lengthy address to
his family, some of which are righteous, and others who struggle with righteousness. He said to his sons (v. 15) “But behold, the
Lord hath redeemed my soul from hell; I have beheld his glory, and I am
encircled about eternally in the arms of his love.” Our souls are redeemed from hell through the
atonement of Jesus Christ. When Lehi
says he beheld the Lord’s glory, I don’t pretend to know what it is he
saw. But knowing that the work and the
glory of the Lord is to bring to pass the immortality and the eternal life of
man (Moses 1:39), Lehi had undoubtedly seen the glory of the Lord in the
countenances of redeemed members of his family.
This joy could be compared to being “encircled about in the arms of [the
Lord’s] love.”
