Ether Chapter 12

---

Summary:   At the time of Ether, Coriantumr was the king. Ether was a prophet who came unto the people and preached repentance. Moroni pauses the Jaredite story to teach of faith and how just because you cannot see God does not mean you should not believe in him. Faith is what allow the brother of Jared to see Christ. Moroni continue to show others the significance of faith. Moroni then shows the significance of humility. The Lord gives man weakness so that they may be humble. If you are humble before God and have faith in him, weak things become strong. Faith, hope and charity are essential for salvation. Moroni tells of seeing Christ face to face.

Lessons Taught/To be Learned:

The two key lessons on this chapter are the significance of faith and humility. One needs to have both to be strong with the Lord.

Key Scriptures (italicized and in quotes):

"6 And now, I, Moroni, would speak somewhat concerning these things; I would show unto the world that faith is things which are hoped for and not seen; wherefore, dispute not because ye see not, for ye receive no witness until after the trial of your faith."

"27 And if men come unto me I will show unto them their weakness. I give unto men weakness that they may be humble; and my grace is sufficient for all men that humble themselves before me; for if they humble themselves before me, and have faith in me, then will I make weak things become strong unto them."
