One day his 12 disciples were praying together. They didn't know what they should call the church. Jesus appeared to them to help. He said if a church was called the Church of Moses, it would be Moseses church, or if it was called the church someone else, it would would be that person's church. So it should be called in the name of Jesus to show that it is his. The church must be built on his gospel which is that Jesus would be born, die and be resurrected so that all men could live again. But to do this they need to be baptized and receive the holy ghost. Then Jesus commanded his disciples that they should strive to be perfect like him. He asked what they would want from him. 9 of them simply said they wanted to be with him after they died, but 3 of them wanted something different. They didn't want to say what it is they wanted, but Jesus knew. They wanted to live until he came again at the end of the world. They wanted to stay and teach people about him. Jesus gave them this special gift. From that time forward these three disciples went and taught and baptized many people.They were thrown in prisons, but the prisons could not hold them. They were thrown into furnaces of fire, but they could not be burned. They taught the people until all of them believed in Jesus. This led to 200 years of happiness and righteousness. It is said that there could not be a happier people than the Nephites during this time. But after the Nephites were so good for so long things started to go bad. #comefollowme #Bookofmormon #scriptureexplorers
