How can we experience the healing power of Christ?

(September 28–October 11)

In Jesus Christ’s ministry to the Nephites, He showed great love and His healing power to all who came unto Him. What can we learn from the Nephites’ experience with the Savior?

Trials of the Nephites

The decades before Jesus’s arrival were tumultuous. The Nephites endured:

Civil unrest(see 3 Nephi 7:1–4).
Wickednessand abominations (see 3 Nephi 2:3, 7:7).
Class discrimination (see 3 Nephi 6:10–14).
Religiouspersecution (see 3 Nephi 1:9).
War (see 3 Nephi 2:17).
Naturaldisasters during the three days of darkness (see 3 Nephi 8).

Christ’s Ministry to the Nephites

When the Savior appeared to the Nephites, He invited all who were “afflicted in any manner” (3 Nephi 17:7) to come forward and be healed. His invitation extended beyond the Nephites’ recent trials. It applied to wounds seen and unseen that the Nephites may have carried all their lives. Jesus Christ healed “every one” (3 Nephi 17:9) and ministered unto them “one by one” (3 Nephi 17:21).
