3 Nephi 12




After the Savior called and gave authority to baptize to twelve New World disciples, He addressed the multitude saying, “Blessed are ye if ye shall give heed unto the words of the twelve whom I have chosen from among you to minister unto you and to be your servants” (v. 1).  These followers wouldn't have access to the teaching and writings that the Apostles in Jerusalem and Galilee gave.  How wonderful that He called twelve special men to lead the New World people in His absence. 


Not only do we have access to the words of some of the Lord’s Apostles and to some of those recorded by His Disciples in the Book of Mormon, but in our day there are another twelve men whose words we can heed.  Twice a year at our General Conferences, members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints have the privilege of current teachings of modern-day Apostles and Prophets.  Blessed are we if we give heed to the words of all those whom the Lord has chosen, regardless of when or where He did so.
