The Savior’s love radiated through him like a lighthouse on a desolate hill

"Nephi's joy was in the Savior, and the Savior's love radiated through him like a lighthouse on a desolate hill to illuminate the way for millions of travelers in the barren wastes of spiritual twilight. This vision is the spiritual road map the Lord gave Nephi to hold up to those struggling along the way home. The message and promise of vision of the tree of life pertain primarily to this life. It is a message that All who seek eternal life must understand and apply it in their lives."

John Pontius, "Following the Light of Christ into His Presence", p.4
