He shows them the marks of the nails in his hands and feet and expresss how his atonement shows his love for each of us. He heals those who are sick or injured and tells them to believe in him that by keeping his commandments they can return to live with him and Heavenly Father. Christ invites the Nephites to repent and to follow him. Jesus gathers all the children around him, he prays to God for the people and then blesses each child.
