Jesus Christ is the only way to the father (John 14:6). It is he who makes it possible for us to return. It is him that offers himself a sacrifice for our sin. I don't think that I will ever fully understand how that works. But I am grateful for it. I am grateful for the knowledge that he will be there on my side when I come to him with a contrite heart.
It is the job of each individual that when they have received that knowledge and it is burning within that they should share it. Share What you have. Lehi talking to his son Jacob said "....how great the importance to make these known unto the inhabitants of the earth.... Now is the time that each one who has received these things must stand up and declare the great things that our Heavenly Father has done.
Lehi goes on to teach his son that it is only through the Messiah that ressurection of all mankind will come to pass. Because he has done this we are able to come to God. What a powerful lesson. Christ allows us to come and stand before God and he will plead our case. If we accept him and repent.
There is a law. That law has a penalty. All have transgressed that law. Just being human we will and do have a need for the mercy to be extended to us! We would be lost without our elder brother Jesus the Christ. He stands to make in Lehi's words an Intercession for man. He will bridge the gap.
