Nephi and Ammon inspire me to deepen my relationship with Jesus Christ and to rejoice in the many ways we can glory in Him.

Overview

Elder Aaron T. Hall centers this Easter message on Nephi’s phrase “I glory in my Jesus,” showing how a personal relationship with Jesus Christ grows as we recognize Him by His many divine names and experience His real help in trials. Using Nephi and Ammon as examples, he invites us to rejoice in Christ as Redeemer, Shepherd, Healer, Advocate, Lawgiver, and Deliverer, and to draw near through repentance, obedience, and covenant faithfulness so we can feel His peace and power more personally.

Three Key Takeaways

  • 1Nephi’s “my Jesus” models a relationship where the Savior is not distant, His name becomes personal as we notice how He supports, leads through afflictions, preserves, and fills us with love.
  • 2Ammon’s conversion-filled joy teaches that we cannot “glory too much in the Lord” because Christ’s power, mercy, and long-suffering are bigger than our past rebellion, sin, or weakness.
  • 3One way to deepen faith when life feels unfair is to ponder specific names of Jesus Christ (Redeemer, Good Shepherd, Healer, Advocate, Lawgiver, Deliverer) and let what each name means guide repentance, covenant keeping, and patient trust in Him.

Reflection Questions

  • When have you felt, like Nephi, that the Lord supported you, led you through an affliction, preserved you, or filled you with His love, and how did that make Jesus more personally “yours”?
  • Which of the roles Elder Hall lists (Redeemer, Good Shepherd, Healer, Advocate, Lawgiver, Deliverer) do you most need this week, and what would it look like to actively seek His help in that role?
  • What is one area where you need more peace in an “infuriatingly unfair” situation, and how could studying one divine name of Christ help you trust Him there?

Application Prompt

Choose one name or role of Jesus Christ from the talk and spend 10 minutes each day this week studying it in the scriptures, then act on what you learn with one concrete step of repentance or covenant faithfulness.
