3 NEPHI 11-28
“Christ visited the people of Nephi at Bountiful on three consecutive days. The book of 3 Nephi, however, records only the events of the first day (11:1-18:39) and the second day (19:15-26:14) Jesus’s theme for the first day was the Law, and for the second day the Prophets—categories that were important for the formation of the Jewish cannon but which also appear in the Book of Mormon. Rather than give an account of the third day’s visit to the multitude, it substitutes a report of a subsequent appearance of the resurrected Christ to the twelve disciples.”
Grant Hardy, The Annotated Book of Mormon, pg. 586
THE BEATITUDES
Name given to certain declarations of blessedness in the Sermon on the Mount (Matt. 5:3–11; Luke 6:20–22). They describe certain elements that go to form the refined and spiritual character, all of which will be present whenever that character exists in its perfection. Rather than being isolated statements, the Beatitudes are interrelated and progressive in their arrangement. A more comprehensive and accurate listing is found in 3 Ne. 12:1–12, where a greater spiritual emphasis is given. (The JST wording is similar to 3 Ne.)
A BROKEN HEART AND CONTRITE SPIRIT
“Heart break is inevitable; contrition is not. Let us not waste our suffering.”
Lili Anderson, Choosing Glory Podcast
SUFFERING
“Our specific trials are designed to develop generalized abilities in us. They are not for us to endure and survive. They are provocative moments that entice us and invite us to grow.”
Joseph Greeny Faith Matters Conference, 2024
