Lesson 9, Witnesses of the Book of Mormon - Sister Irmgard Dixon.
Said President Smith of the Book of Mormon, "I have read it many, many times. I have not read it enough. It sill contains truths that I still may see and find, for I have not mastered it, but I know it is true".
Sister Dixon took us to the title page of the Book of Mormon to remind us of the purpose this scripture, "to show unto the remnant of the house of Israel what great things the Lord hath done for their fathers, that they may know the covenants of the Lord...And also to the convincing of the Jew and the Gentile that Jesus is the Christ."
In other words, sister Dixon said, "to remember and to come unto Christ."
It is important to gain a testimony of the Book of Mormon as the 3 witnesses did. These three men, Oliver Cowdery, David Whitmer, and Martin Harris never did recant their testimony of this holy book of scripture, even when they became disaffected from the church.
Some questions sister Dixon gave us to ponder:
Which of the prophets of the Book of Mormon would you like to meet, and why?
How did you receive your witness of the Book of Mormon?
And the most important, What can you do to share this witness with others?
Thank you sister Dixon for another wonderful lesson!
