34:10 For it is expedient that there should be a great and last
sacrifice; yea, not a sacrifice of man, neither of beast, neither of
any manner of fowl; for it shall not be a human sacrifice; but it must
be an infinite and eternal sacrifice.
34:11 Now there is not any man that can sacrifice his own blood which
will atone for the sins of another. Now, if a man murdereth, behold
will our law, which is just, take the life of his brother? I say unto
you, Nay.
34:12 But the law requireth the life of him who hath murdered;
therefore there can be nothing which is short of an infinite atonement
which will suffice for the sins of the world.
34:13 Therefore, it is expedient that there should be a great and last
sacrifice; and then shall there be, or it is expedient there should be,
a stop to the shedding of blood; then shall the law of Moses be
fulfilled; yea, it shall be all fulfilled, every jot and tittle, and
none shall have passed away.
34:14 And behold, this is the whole meaning of the law, every whit
pointing to that great and last sacrifice; and that great and last
sacrifice will be the Son of God, yea, infinite and eternal.
34:15 And thus he shall bring salvation to all those who shall believe
on his name; this being the intent of this last sacrifice, to bring
about the bowels of mercy, which overpowereth justice, and bringeth
about means unto men that they may have faith unto repentance.
34:16 And thus mercy can satisfy the demands of justice, and encircles
them in the arms of safety, while he that exercises no faith unto
repentance is exposed to the whole law of the demands of justice;
therefore only unto him that has faith unto repentance is brought about
the great and eternal plan of redemption.
34:17 Therefore may God grant unto you, my brethren, that ye may begin
to exercise your faith unto repentance, that ye begin to call upon his
holy name, that he would have mercy upon you;
34:18 Yea, cry unto him for mercy; for he is mighty to save.
34:19 Yea, humble yourselves, and continue in prayer unto him.
34:20 Cry unto him when ye are in your fields, yea, over all your
flocks.
34:21 Cry unto him in your houses, yea, over all your household, both
morning, mid-day, and evening.
34:22 Yea, cry unto him against the power of your enemies.
34:23 Yea, cry unto him against the devil, who is an enemy to all
righteousness.
34:24 Cry unto him over the crops of your fields, that ye may prosper
in them.
34:25 Cry over the flocks of your fields, that they may increase.
34:26 But this is not all; ye must pour out your souls in your closets,
and your secret places, and in your wilderness.
34:27 Yea, and when you do not cry unto the Lord, let your hearts be
full, drawn out in prayer unto him continually for your welfare, and
also for the welfare of those who are around you.
