John the Apostle Will Write the Rest of the Vision

John W. Welch

Finally, there is a lesson in the fact that Nephi was commanded not to write everything that he had seen in his vision. There were things left for John the Apostle to explain centuries later. The Lord directed Nephi to record the vision up to a point. Then, it became someone else’s responsibility. It is interesting to think that we each have specific responsibilities, duties, or callings. We should not overstep our bounds. We are allotted a particular responsibility, and then we must trust that the Lord will call another to finish the task.
