Alma and Amulek had asked the Zoramites to think very
differently from what they were accustomed to thinking. They asked them to believe in the Son of God,
which they had done in the past before turning away from this beautiful
doctrine. In this chapter we find that those
who listened to Alma and Amulek and admitted their faith in Christ were expelled from their homeland. Homeless
and destitute they sought admittance among the recent converts living in
Jershon. We read in verse 9 that the people of Jershon “did receive all…the
Zoramites that came over to them; and they did…administer to them according to
their wants.” Do we, as the established
of our faith, do the same for new converts that come among us? Often they've had to change their thinking a
lot. And sometimes they've had to, in
some degree, leave their former associates to live according to their new found
religion. And when they come to us, what
do they find? Do we receive them? Do we administer to them according to their
wants? Let us make a special point to do
so.
