This first chapter of 2nd Nephi is the preaching of Lehi. And for the most party it is directed to L&L. They are the eldest and are to receive Father Lehi's first blessings and inheritance.
The first thing he says is do you remember how great the blessings have been from Father in delivering us from Jerusalem? If we had stayed we would have been destroyed. Then her goes on to explain how important and blessed the land is that they have been brought to. No other people are brought here unless by God and only if they will serve him. This land is also cursed in that if you don't keep Gods commandments you will not prosper in the land. What makes me grateful is to remember that this details still apply to the land I which I live.
Lehi then also teaches that they must follow Nephi because he had been called to lead them and that they will be blessed for following him.
I love this chapter because Lehi sees so clearly the hand of the Lord. I can do better at recognizing the same.
