Quote by Martin Luther King Jr.
If then, Moses so distinctly announces that there is in us not only a faculty, but also a facility for keeping all commandments, why are we sweating so much? ... What need is there now of Christ or of Spirit? We have found a passage that asserts freedom of choice, but also distinctly teaches that the keeping of the commandments is easy.
Summary
This quote questions the struggle that people face in keeping the commandments while referencing teachings from Moses. It suggests that if Moses indicates that humans have both the capability and ease in adhering to commandments, then why do they suffer and need the assistance of Christ or Spirit? The statement implies that a passage has been discovered that supports the freedom of choice and demonstrates the simplicity of following commandments. In essence, it raises doubt regarding the justification for the difficulties encountered in keeping commandments if the ability and simplicity are already present.
