3 Nephi 18:33-35

Brant Gardner

These commandments finally conclude the lessons of the day. Jesus would return the next day, but this time he really was leaving. Even in leaving, he makes it clear that “it is expedient that I should go unto the Father for your sakes.” No matter how much the people might have desired that he stay, they really were in need of a break. Even though there would be some who would sleep little, they needed time to process and understand what had transpired in that most miraculous day.
