“Because of the Anointing”

George Reynolds, Janne M. Sjodahl

Refers to the power of the Priesthood. The Prophet employs the figure of speech of a slave carrying a burden, whose yoke will be destroyed, because of his Priesthood. One who honors his Priesthood cannot but be a free man. See the letter of Paul to Philemon concerning Onesimus. (vv. 8-16)
