“I Have Reason to Rejoice… Because of Nephi And… Sam”

Joseph F. McConkie, Robert L. Millet
In his dream Lehi noted that Nephi, Sam and Sariah partook of the fruit of the tree (verses 14-16), and thus enjoyed the spiritual blessings that would be associated with partaking of the powers of Christ and the Atonement. Their joy would be as great as Lehi’s had been. Here we note that righteous parents in all dispensations may receive divine direction for their children.
