3 Nephi chapter 11

So we read an amazing chapter in the Book of Mormon today and it was really unique because it was a chapter of only Jesus Christ speaking after his resurrection. I feel like anything I say won't do justice to how wonderful this scripture is, and I highly recommend you read it for yourself. We had to do a worksheet that kind of broke down the first half of the scripture and helped me think more of my personal goals and my testimony so ill post some of the questions at the end of this so you can read this chapter and hopefully answer the questions in your journal! The feeling I got while reading these scriptures was just so unique and I seriously felt the trueness of the gospel and the importance of reading the Book of Mormon. Sis McGruder instructed us to write, "Jesus Christ invites me to receive a personal testimony that he is my savior" next to verse 15. That is the verse that he tells the people he is visiting to "thrust their hands into his side, and feel the prints of the nails in his hands and in his feet." After the people had done so their reaction was " [they] did know of a surety and did bear record, that it was he, of whom it was written by the prophets, that should come... They did cry out with one accord saying; hosanna! Blessed be the name of the Most High God! And they did fall down at the feet of Jesus, and did worship him." Those verses are just beautiful, you can feel the amount of love and trust they have in Christ and I can't help but think about how we would react if this had happened now days. It would be amazing to see all of your friends and family rejoice so purely and lovingly about the return of their savior. This scripture has strengthened my testimony very much and I hope that you are compelled to read it too.
