-here
is an angel teaching Nephi. Angels are
not “handicap” with the limitations of the veil. Hence they have a step up on those engaged in
the mortal experience even when those mortals are some of the great ones. There must be great empathy by those who
spirits who have experienced mortality who are now working with those presently
engaged in the rigors of this estate.
“Knowest
thou the condescension of God?”
-should
Nephi (should we) have known about the condescension of God –what it is, what
it means? Is it something that ever
crossed Nephi’s mind prior to the angel framing the question? What other things should we know that we
don’t, much less even considered.
“condescension”
-
definition: “voluntary descent from one's rank or dignity in relations with an
inferior.”
-what
are we to gather or understand about God’s condescension? This is one of those concepts where there is
a great divide between knowing about it
-yes, I am aware that Jesus Christ took a huge step down and came to
earth to submit himself to man, to mortality, to the terrestrial sphere- and
really having a deep understanding of what it means.
