Today’s reading, Alma 42, is among my favorites, and yet there’s no single passage from it that stands out to me or that seems particularly quotable. The whole chapter is good.
Its discussion of the relationship between justice and mercy is classic, and its account of this life as a time of probation is, I think, pivotal for the Latter-day Saint understanding of the purpose of mortality. So pivotal that I suspect, again, that we may now take it for granted. It’s already been “factored in.” But it’s profound.
