Ether 6:3

And thus the Lord caused stones to shine in darkness, to give light unto men, women, and children, that they might not cross the great waters in darkness.

Christ is the rock of redemption and the chief cornerstone, which shines in the darkness of a fallen world so we do not have to navigate mortal life in the dark.

3 Nephi 14:25

And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not, for it was founded upon a rock.

The house built on the rock of Christ still experiences storms and fierce winds. We are not exempt from the trials and vicissitudes of life because we have faith and a testimony. We are never promised comfort and ease, but we are promised that we can survive the trials because the Rock will never desert us.

Heleman 5:12

And now, my sons, remember, remember that it is upon the rock of our Redeemer, who is Christ, the Son of God, that ye must build your foundation; that when the devil shall send forth his mighty winds, yea, his shafts in the whirlwind, yea, when all his hail and his mighty storm shall beat upon you, it shall have no power over you to drag you down to the gulf of misery and endless wo, because of the rock upon which ye are built, which is a sure foundation, a foundation whereon if men build they cannot fall.

Satan cannot exercise control over those who are built on the Rock—Jesus Christ. This message is repeated many times. Having faith in Christ and building on his foundation does not exempt us from trials and storms. Faith enables us to withstand the storms and triumph over them. The formula for eternal success is E + R = O. It is not the Event but our Response to it that determines the Outcome.

Alma 7:20

I perceive that it has been made known unto you, by the testimony of his word, that he cannot walk in crooked paths; neither doth he vary from that which he hath said; neither hath he a shadow of turning from the right to the left, or from that which is right to that which is wrong; therefore, his course is one eternal round.

Christ is totally trustworthy. We need never fear that he will change his mind, or withdraw his promises, or withhold his love. He never gets distracted or tired. We never have to wonder about him. Thus he is the Rock, immovable, unchanging, anchored, steadfast, solid to the core. Even if the seemingly eternal mountains are worn away by time and erosion, the true Rock will stand forever. That is the One in whom we trust.

Second Nephi 11:4

Behold, my soul delighteth in proving unto my people the truth of the coming of Christ; for, for this end hath the law of Moses been given; and all things which have been given of God from the beginning of the world, unto man, are the typifying of him.

Nephi teaches us here to look to all things as evidence of Christ and the plan of salvation that he has worked out through his atonement. Christ is the Light, the Rock, the Living Water. We must develop the eyes to see. The signs are all around us if we learn to look.
