Come Follow Me 2020: 3 Nephi 8-11
This week we have the terrible destruction that takes place in the land of the Nephites and Lamanites as a sign of the Savior's death in Jerusalem. We talk about some similarities between living in that day and living in our day, so close (as we assume) to the Second Coming of Jesus Christ (see the article by President Nelson linked below). How can we listen to the prophets to be conducted safely through the calamities that will befall our times? What does it look like to have a broken heart and a contrite spirit? What hope is there for people who live in fear and darkness - will the light ever come? And most importantly - how can we be healed in this life? Jesus Christ invites us, as he invited the survivors in this section, to come unto him and be healed. Isn't it time we let him?
Enjoy listening, and keep up the fight!
