Chapter 11


It was Nephi’s challenge to convince his people that the Savior would be coming into the world to redeem the world.  It is our challenge today to believe he will come again to the earth that he redeemed.  But more challenging and more crucial is the decision to believe Him and His message.  Yesterday, I went to a lecture by Tom Tyler, my friend from Las Vegas days.  He said Jesus wants to put his arms around us.  In fact, if he were to visit us in person right now, the first thing he would do is give us an affectionate hug.  When Nephi and Jacob saw Jesus, as recorded in this chapter, he would have hugged them.  Jesus is a loving, affectionate being.  The Spirit fills us with this love.  Love casts out our fears.  Hugs are amazing!
