“I am depicting the incident from 1 Nephi, chapter 3, where Nephi returns from speaking with God to the tent of his Father and learns that he is to go to Jerusalem to get the brass plates. His father tells Nephi that he has already spoken to Laman and Lemuel and that they have said the assignment is too hard. Nephi brings joy to Lehi when he tells him that he will do it because he believes the Lord will help them do it. The message of my painting is that Nephi set a great example and heritage of faith for the whole Church forever by what he said and did.”
