“The Work Which I Shall Command Him”

Brant Gardner

For Lehi, this verse indicates the magnitude of the work of the future Joseph. For the modern church, it served as an indication of the position of Joseph in the church. While the church might be a lay church, there would be one (and later others) who would have such value to the kingdom of God that they could have no other work.
