How does the declaration “I am Jesus Christ” affect the Nephites?

Thomas R. Valletta

“He speaks and says simply, with a voice that penetrates the very marrow of your bones, ‘I am Jesus Christ.’ …

“There it is—or, more correctly speaking, there he is. The focal point and principal figure behind every fireside and devotional and family home evening held by those Nephites for the last six hundred years … .

“Everyone has talked of him and sung of him and dreamed of him and prayed—but here he actually is. This is the day and yours is the generation. What a moment! But you find you are less inclined to check the film in your camera than you are to check the faith in your heart” (Holland and Holland, On Earth As It Is in Heaven, 125).
