Today we begin our study of 3 Nephi 17-19 with a look at how the Saviour ministered to these people. We consider how He considered their individual needs and we reflect on how He reached out to touch their lives one by one once again.
President Dallin H Oaks: “When the Savior appeared to the righteous in the New World, He called for persons to come forward who were lame or blind or had other physical ailments. He extended the same invitation to those ‘that are afflicted in any manner.’ ‘Bring them hither,’ He said, ‘and I will heal them’ The Book of Mormon tells how the multitude brought forward ‘all them that were afflicted in any manner.’ This must have included persons with every kind of physical or emotional or mental affliction, and the scripture testifies that Jesus ‘did heal them every one.’ The Savior teaches that we will have tribulation in the world, but we should “be of good cheer” because He has ‘overcome the world.’ His Atonement reaches and is powerful enough not only to pay the price for sin but also to heal every mortal affliction.”
