Why was the Nephites’ experience with the Savior so unique in earth’s history?

Thomas R. Valletta

“In our view, these marvelous happenings—when the Holy Ghost fell mightily upon the people; when the sanctifying power of the Holy Spirit of God cleansed their souls; when mortal men were quickened by the Spirit until their countenances shone (as did that of Moses after he was with the Lord for forty days in the holy mount); when Jesus spoke words that could not be written and could only be understood by the power of the Spirit—these marvelous events were the high point of Jesus’ ministry among his ‘other sheep.’ Seldom, if ever, has there been such a scene on planet earth” (McConkie, Mortal Messiah, 4:329).
