Alma compares the Word to a Seed and a Tree - coloring page

Alma was a great prophet of the Book of Mormon.  He heard that some of his people had rebelled against God and started their own city.  They were calling themselves Zoramites.  The Zoramites built synagogues or churches but they had an unusual way of worshipping.  They entered the synagogue and climbed up a tower or high podium that was inside the building.  They called this podium the Rameumtum.  On the Rameumptum they would saw a memorized prayer that was an antichrist prayer.  These some people were also persecuting the poor among them.  

Alma and Amulek climbed a hill and began teaching the people.  The wealthy people were NOT accepting what was being taught about Christ and His atonement.  Then a group of poor people came up the hill and Alma began to teach them because their poverty had made them humble.

Alma compared the Word of God to a seed that... IF you nourished it... would grow up to a Tree of Life with sweet fruit that was the best of all fruit.  We know that the fruit is the Love of God.  The poor people listened and many were converted.  The wicked people continued on in their wickedness.  So the wicked people did not repent of their sins.  The poor people DID repent and we can suppose that they have Eternal Life.  

I think that we can also compare relationships to a seed.  If you think about it... you could say that Alma was comparing a seed to our relationship with God.  I think that you can compare your relationship with others to a seed.  If you nourish the relationship you can expect the relationship to thrive and to become good friends with the other person... or with God for that matter.  The chapter also explains that when you exercise faith you eventually know for sure... and your faith becomes dormant because you KNOW the truth.  

I suggest you read the chapter in The Book of Mormon, Another Testament of Christ.  The comparison is in Alma, chapter 32.  It is one of my favorite chapters of scripture.
