I finished reading 1st Nephi chapter 17 today. I loved the reference he made to Moses and his people as he was talking to his brothers who were murmuring against him and Lehi.
Nephi talked about how the people of Moses were sent down firery serpents because they stopped believing. They were bitten, but then God provided a way for them to be healed: by looking at Moses' staff. But since it was such a simple task, a lot died because they didn't believe it would actually heal them.
The gospel can be like that in a lot of ways to some people. There are a lot of simple, basic principles we teach. Sometimes people think they are so simple that there's no way it could be true.
I love that the gospel isn't that hard to understand. It makes sense, and it's supposed to make sense.
