Alma 20:23, 22:15, 18
Trembling under Ammon's sword
The king of the vast
Lamanites nation
swore an oath.
“If thou wilt spare me
I will grant unto thee
whatsoever thou wilt ask,
even to half of the kingdom.”
Half his kingdom
for his life.
Under Aaron's teachings,
the king's perspective expanded.
He promised:
“I will give up all that
I possess, yea, I will
forsake my kingdom, that I may
receive this great joy.”
All his kingdom,
for eternal life.
Then he learned,
it isn't his kingdom
God wants. But him.
He bowed himself
upon the earth, and
raised his voice to heaven.
“I will give away
all my sins to know thee,
and that I may be
raised from the dead, and be
saved at the last day.”
All his sins,
to know God.
This is the
greatest sacrifice,
and the path to
greatest joy.
