Emotional Connections and Divine Blessings

An in-depth study of 3 Nephi 17-19, covering Christ's "extended" first day among the Nephites, healing the sick, blessing the children, and teaching about prayer, the sacrament, and gathering. This lesson focuses on "pre-enacting" the Gathering, perceiving need, caring for caregivers, circles of holiness, a God who "groans," sacred prayer, balancing the worth of souls and the sanctity of the sacraments, bringing people to Jesus, what Gethsemane could have been, and more.
