Jesus Blesses the Nephite Children
During His mortal ministry, Jesus often took time to bless little children. He taught His disciples that one must become like a little child to enter the kingdom of heaven.
After His Resurrection, Jesus visited the Nephites to teach and bless them. During this time He asked that the little children be brought to Him. When they were gathered about Him, He knelt down and prayed to Heavenly Father for all His people. So great was the love and faith of the multitude for their Savior that He declared: "Blessed are ye because of your faith. And now behold, my joy is full". After saying this, Jesus wept because He had such great love for the people. Then He took the children one by one and blessed them and prayed for them.
Afterward, Jesus wept again and said to the people, "Behold your little ones". Then, as the multitude watched, the heavens opened and angels came in great glory to minister to the children. The children were encircled by this heavenly glory and looked as though they were surrounded by fire. This wonderful event was witnessed by the entire multitude, and they "did see and hear and bear record".
