2 Nephi 15
Again, Nephi rejoices in the Lord’s mercy and
grace. The words in this chapter must
have sounded very familiar to Nephi, who, by this time had spent no less than
40 years trying to set a good example for his brethren. “What could have been done more to my
vineyard that I have not done in it?” asked Isaiah. What comfort Nephi must have found in the
answer to the question found in verse 25: “but [the Lord’s] hand is stretched
out still.” The Lord doesn't give up on
wayward Israel. Neither should
Nephi. Neither should we. Nephi learned to continue his good example of
the past 40 years and to keep “his hand extended” towards his brethren. Hope pays off. Charity never faileth!
