This morning, while reading John chapter 7, it occurred to me that there are so many interesting parallels between the way men received the Christ and the way they receive his servant Joseph Smith Jr. the prophet who revealed the Book of Mormon, and restored Christ's church.
I find it interesting that many folks refuse to even ask God (Moroni 10:3-5) or inquire from whence cometh these apparently "new" things, often using the Bible to claim that there is no record or prophecy or indication that such a prophet should come. This is precisely what the Jews said, as they plotted to murder him, in justification--that because he came "of Galilee" (see John 7:50-53) and the scriptures said nothing of Galilee that he could not possibly be the Messiah.
Yet, I ask, had there been a verse detailing the color of Jesus's home in Galilee, would it have mattered?
