Down to Hell

Matthew 27:64 "Command therefore that the sepulchre be made sure until the third day, lest his disciples come by night, and steal him way, and say unto the people, He is risen from the dead: so the last error shall be worse than the first."

Just as the Pharisees were never satisfied with Jesus' death--first they wanted Him to be killed, then they wanted His tomb guarded, then whan the disciples would not keep silent, they tried to kill them. This is how Satan works. He is never satisfied with one little sin or one mistake; he is always tugging on us to drag us further down to hell.

Simple Statement of Principle, "Satan will never be satisfied; he will work on us until he gradually drags us to hell." Therefore watch out for him, do not let one sin lead to another and to another. It is just like Lehonti in the Book of Mormon. Amalickiah was never satisfied with how far Lehonti had come down the mountain until he was trapped.

Elder Robert D Hales said, "In the Book of Mormon, we read about Lehonti and his men camped upon a mount. The traitorous Amalickiah urged Lehonti to “come down” and meet him in the valley. But when Lehonti left the high ground, he was poisoned “by degrees” until he died, and his army fell into Amalickiah’s hands (see Alma 47)."
