Mormon watched his people descend into wickedness. It might be easier to love the nameless masses of mankind than it is to love Bob that annoys me in my daily life. Mormon did both. He even gives us the secret to loving them all. It wasn't his love. He loved "according to the love of God which was in me". He reflected God’s love outward. Perhaps most importantly, he truly felt and relied on God’s love for him. In the desperate last days of the Nephites, Mormon shared this knowledge of God’s love with his son.
Moroni 9:25.
Both of these men saw what we would face in our day. They saw that we would need to know the same things. I know that they have blessed me with their words and examples.
