Here’s what Alma 4 might have been like.
Alma was the high priest. Today, we would call him “the prophet” or “Church president.” But he was also the chief judge—sort of like being president of the country.
Both of these were good, honorable jobs. But they were very demanding jobs, and Alma found that he couldn’t do them both well.
He had to choose one or the other. He gave up one good thing for a better thing.
