As members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints we believe in a very personal relationship with the Savior. In reading the New Testament and the Book of Mormon I have often wondered what it must have been like to feel the Saviors touch and receive healing through his virtue. This image depicts the story found in Matthew 8 of the New Testament. The leper who approached Jesus had faith that, if willing, he could make him clean. With the simple words, “be thou clean” a life was brought from despair to hope. What must that moment have been like? The newly cleansed man, gazing into the face of the Savior of the world.

Frontal half-length portrait of President Gordon B. Hinckley. President Hinckley’s hands are resting on the back of a chair. The image is the official Church portrait of President Hinckley as of 1995. This was President Hinckley’s last official portrait. President Hinckley died 27 January 2008.
I was asked if I would visit a woman in the hospital whose doctors had told her she was going blind and would lose her sight within a week. She asked if we would administer to her and we did so, and she states that she was miraculously healed. … I said to her, “I didn’t save your sight. Of course, the Lord saved your sight. Thank Him and be grateful to Him.”

Official Portrait of President Dallin H. Oaks taken March 2018.
Miracles are not available for the asking. … The will of the Lord is always paramount. The priesthood of the Lord cannot be used to work a miracle contrary to the will of the Lord. We must also remember that even when a miracle is to occur, it will not occur on our desired schedule. The revelations teach that miraculous experiences occur “in his own time, and in his own way” ( D&C 88:68).

Half-length frontal portrait of the Prophet Joseph Smith, Jr. Joseph’s head is turned to the side in a three-quarter view, right hand on hip and his left hand holds sheets of papers. He is depicted wearing a dark brown suit and a white shirt and tie.
We came to this earth that we might have a body and present it pure before God in the celestial kingdom. The great principle of happiness consists in having a body. The devil has no body, and herein is his punishment. He is pleased when he can obtain the tabernacle of man, and when cast out by the Savior he asked to go into the herd of swine, showing that he would prefer a swine’s body to having none. All beings who have bodies have power over those who have not.
Official portrait of President Russell M. Nelson taken January 2018
Our Savior and Redeemer, Jesus Christ, will perform some of His mightiest works between now and when He comes again. We will see miraculous indications that God the Father and His Son, Jesus Christ, preside over this Church in majesty and glory.
(Russell M. Nelson, “Revelation for the Church, Revelation for Our Lives,” Ensign or Liahona, May 2018, 96)
