The Condescension of God
from Seek This Jesus - A Book of Mormon Daily Podcast · host Jamie
1 Nephi 11:16 - "And he said unto me: Knowest thou the condescension of God?"Elder Bruce R. McConkie - “The condescension of God lies in the fact that he, an exalted Being, steps down from his eternal throne to become the Father of a mortal Son”Elder Gerald N. Lund - “Here was Jesus --a member of the Godhead, the Firstborn of the Father, the Creator, Jehovah of the Old Testament --now leaving His divine and holy station; divesting Himself of all that glory and majesty and entering the body of a tiny infant; helpless, completely dependent on His mother and earthly father. That He should not come to the finest of earthly palaces and be…showered with jewels but should come to a lowly stable is astonishing. Little wonder that the angel should say to Nephi, ‘Behold the condescension of God!’ (1 Ne. 11:26.)”Seek this Jesus - A Book of Mormon Daily Podcast invites you to discover the joy and guidance that comes from studying the Book of Mormon everyday.
