Jesus Ordains Nephi, one of HIs 12 Disciples in the New World

Jesus ordains Nephi... one of His Disciples in the New World

After His resurrection in the Old World, Jesus appeared to His people in the New World. . . somewhere in the Americas.  He chose 12 Disciples to minister to the people.  We learn about this event in the Book of Mormon in 3rd Nephi, chapters 11-26.  The lead Disciple was named Nephi.  

Note:  This drawing has shadows that are all based on the resurrected Jesus being the source of all Light.  This is symbolic.  Of course we members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints believe that Jesus Christ is indeed the Light of the World.  His atonement pays the price for our sins so that we can repent.  We ALL need to repent.  The Holy Bible says that all fall short of the Glory of God.  So when we repent the eternal price for our sins is paid for by the suffering and death of Jesus Christ.  This is what we call the Atonement of Christ.  To repent we must recognize that we have done wrong... feel sorrow... make restitution if possible... and confess serious sins to our ecclesiastical leader... and of course we must endeavor to never commit that sin again.  One more thing. . . we must forgive others their trespasses against us for Jesus and our Heavenly Father to forgive us of our sins.
