Today we continue with our study of 3 Nephi 8-11, focusing on the final words of the Saviour from the heavens. We consider how He is wiling to gather us and we reflect on the power of repentance to change our nature.
Elder Jeffrey R Holland: “Out of the darkness of destruction came the voice the Nephite nation had waited more than six hundred years to hear. ‘Behold, I am Jesus Christ the Son of God,’ he said…. As should be expected, such an introductory pronouncement from the great Jehovah/Jesus himself is laden with doctrinal significance [see 3 Nephi 9:15-22]…. Concurrent with these and other such magnificent declarations, the darkness lifted and the earth ceased to tremble. The light of the world had come. The more righteous part of the people had been saved, through their obedience, and were now prepared to receive the visitation of the Son of God himself.”
