Chapter 44
Jesus Christ Blesses the Children
Jesus Christ told the Nephites to bring their little children to him. The children sat on the ground near Jesus.
The Savior told the people to kneel down. Then he knelt and prayed to Heavenly Father.
The Savior’s prayer was so marvelous that it could not be written. It filled the Nephites with joy.
After his prayer Jesus said the Nephites would be blessed because of their faith.
He felt so much love and happiness that he wept.
Then he took the children and blessed each one. He prayed to Heavenly Father for them and wept again.
Jesus told the Nephites to look at their children.
As the people watched, angels came down from heaven and encircled the children. The children and the angels were surrounded by fire.
