Book of Mormon Reading: 4 Nephi

After the visit of Christ in the Americas, there were years of plenty.

110 of them filled with peace.

"No contention in the land, because of the love of God which did dwell in the hearts of the people

No envyings.

No strifes.

No tumults.

No whoredoms.

No lyings.

No murders.

No lasciviousness.

"Surely there could not be a happier people among all the people who had been created by the hand of God. . . they were in one, the children of Christ, and heirs to the kingdom of God" (4 Nephi 1:15-16).

Imagine what we, as a people, would give up, if we were filled with peace; if we were filled with the pure love of Christ.

Certainly, the headlines for the nightly news would be different---or not exist at all.

It would be Christmas everyday.
