3 Nephi 11:14

One of my favorite scriptures in the Book of Mormon is 3rd Nephi 11:14 because it is completely centered on Christ.  In fact, it is Christ speaking.  Third Nephi Chapter eleven is by far the most important chapter in the Book of Mormon -- Christ Visits the Americas.  This verse is very powerful because it is Christ testifying that he is the Christ.  It states, "Arise and come forth unto me, that ye may thrust your hands into my side, and also that ye may feel the prints of the nails in my hands and in my feet, that ye may know that I am the God of Israel, and the God of the Whole earth, and have been slain for the sins of the World."  I can't but help be moved by the power in which he testifies that he is the Christ.  He alludes to the atonement that he preformed to for every individual.  Through our faith in Christ we can be cleansed and eventually return to our Father in Heaven.  This verse makes me want to be the very best person I possibly can so that I don't contribute to the pain Christ suffered through the atonement.  This is such a great scripture and I am so happy I was able to share it with you guys!
