The Schoolmaster

Alma 34:14  The Whole Meaning of the Law of Moses

“And behold, this is the whole meaning of the law, every whit pointing to that great and last sacrifice; and that great and last sacrifice will be the Son of God, yea, infinite and eternal.”

The Law of Moses was a schoolmaster:

“Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith” (Galations 3:24).

The Law of Moses pointed souls toward Christ and brought souls to Christ.

This was the all inclusive purpose of this schoolmaster, to school the people in

Christ.

A schoolmaster is anything or anybody that teaches or directs. 

Were it not for “the atonement of His blood” (Mosiah 3:15), all humankind

would remain lost and fallen and would soon perish. The shedded blood of Jesus saves

and atones. For “there is no other way nor means whereby man can be saved, only in

and through the atoning blood of Jesus Christ” (Mosiah 5:9), on condition of our faith,and obedience.
