Episode notes
Importance of Prophets and Apostles
- We wouldn't know about Jesus without His prophets and apostles like Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, and Joseph Smith.
- Claiming access to Jesus while rejecting His prophets is illogical.
Savior's Test of Acceptance
- In 3 Nephi 19, the Savior isn't present initially, only the Twelve.
- This suggests Jesus may be testing their acceptance of the Twelve before appearing.
Personal Prayer from Jesus
- The Nephites' inability to describe Jesus's prayer suggests a deeply personal experience.
- They may have each heard Him pray for them specifically, like a patriarchal blessing.
