Lest we forget how precious children are, we have 3 Nephi
26. After being individually blessed by
the Savior, then being surrounded by fire and ministered to by angels in
chapter 25, a record of Jesus’ teaching to the Nephite and Lamanite children is
found in this chapter (see verses 14 – 16).
The record shows that Jesus opened their mouths, even the mouths of
babies, and they taught their parents even greater things than Jesus had
taught. What He taught them couldn't be
written, it was so sacred. The little
children who heard King Benjamin’s speech back in the book of Mosiah didn't
understand it, and within one generation, the people had rebellion among them,
chiefly brought on by these same children, then grown. But among this people, whose children were
taught by Jesus Christ Himself, it would be 200 years before rebellion would
come again. Let us remember how precious
our children are, and teach them about the Savior, Jesus Christ and His love
for them.
