3 Nephi 11: 10

 

How have you been blessed because of Jesus Christ's coming on earth?

"10 Behold, I am Jesus Christ, whom the prophets testified shall come into the world." (3 Nephi 11: 10)

And here's the introductory commentary for this week's reading assignment: September 23–29: “Arise and Come Forth unto Me” 3 Nephi 8–11 : 

"“Behold, I am Jesus Christ, whom the prophets testified shall come into the world” (3 Nephi 11:10). With these words, the resurrected Savior introduced Himself, fulfilling over 600 years of Book of Mormon prophecies. “That appearance and that declaration,” Elder Jeffrey R. Holland wrote, “constituted the focal point, the supreme moment, in the entire history of the Book of Mormon. It was the manifestation and the decree that had informed and inspired every Nephite prophet. … Everyone had talked of him, sung of him, dreamed of him, and prayed for his appearance—but here he actually was. The day of days! The God who turns every dark night into morning light had arrived” (Christ and the New Covenant [1997], 250–51).

Jesus Christ appeared to people in the Ancient Americas as prophets declared. Those people are his other sheep which he mentioned to his apostles as written in the Bible. This is the crowning event among all the events written in the Book of Mormon. Grateful for the privilege to know about this ever since I was a kid. It's been getting more meaningful to me than ever before over the years as I read about this event over and over again.
