Abstract
Repetition is a vehicle through which the Holy Ghost can enlighten our minds, influence our hearts, and enlarge our understanding." - Elder David A. Bednar. Christ in the Land Bountiful, Simon Dewey. Courtesy of Intellectual Reserve, Inc.“Repetition is a vehicle through which the Holy Ghost can enlighten our minds, influence our hearts, and enlarge our understanding,” explained Elder David A. Bednar.[1] Jesus Christ demonstrated significant repetitions in his teaching and other actions throughout his ministry in the Holy Land. Consider the repetitious themes in his parables of the lost sheep, lost coin, and prodigal son (Luke 15); the similar actions of miraculously feeding the groups of five and four thousand people with bread and fish (Mark 6; 8); and the repetitious prophecies of his own death (Matthew 16:21; Mark 9:31; Luke 18:31 33; John 3:14). A comparison reading of the mortal ministry of Jesus Christ in the Holy Land and his postmortal ministry in the Book of Mormon continues to validate the Savior’s practice of repetition with important teachings.[2]
