I love love love this part in the Book of Mormon. It is one of my favorite parts of all of the scriptures. I want to tell you a few reasons why:
#1 I feel like I could have been there!
When I read this part in the scriptures, it is easy for me to put myself in the shoes of the Nephites. I can feel how they must have felt seeing their resurrected Lord after having had the signs given to them that he had been crucified.
#2 I wish I WAS there!
I always thought as a child that if Jesus came to my day, he would have come to Primary first. He would have come to see the children. At the time I thought that, I was one. Now that I am an adult, I think about what it must have been like to hear his counsel. I would have listened to every word. I would have taken in all that I could and tried to do every thing that he said. Why is it so much harder now? Because I didn't hear it from his mouth? I don't know. But I still wish I was there.
#3 His teachings are a blueprint for our lives!
There are only a few places in the scriptures where you can find a summary of all of the things that our Savior wants us to do. This is one of those places. I am so grateful for the reminders this week as I read. It has helped me to be a better wife and mother as his thoughts are more in my thoughts every day.
