The preaching of the Prophet Abinadi to King Noah and his priests reminds one of the Apostle Paul when he proclaimed the resurrection of the dead to the Corinthians. Paul was a very little man, he was lame and personally unimpressive, as he, himself, declared in one of his epistles.
Clothed in a body of such mean proportions, and plagued by weaknesses of the flesh gnawing at his side, the Apostle, feeling his infirmities but realizing his victory over death, solemnly laid his hands upon his breast and we imagine he said, "You may wonder at it, ye sophists of Greece and you incredulous of Rome, but this poor, miserable, decrepit body you see, with all these certain traces of death shall be swallowed up in everlasting and glorious victory." "O death," he said, "where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?" And then, in a most triumphant voice he cried, "Thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our LORD Jesus Christ." (1 Cor. 15:55-57)
