In Third Nephi 17 Jesus appears to the Nephites and is teaching them and the 12 apostles in the new world. After instructing everyone to return to their homes to think about His words, He becomes aware of how much they desire to yet be with Him. He exhibits His tender feelings of love for these people by having them bring all of their sick and afflicted so He can heal and bless them. Jesus weeps as He does so. Next he calls for the children to be brought before Him and again He blesses the children and heals those in need of help and does so tearfully. What an astounding picture of the Savior, so completely filled with compassion, love, mercy and affection. Oh that I could develop even a fraction of that unconditional love for others.
