The Disciples Whom He Had Chosen by Casey Childs

November — The Disciples Whom He Had Chosen
Scripture: 3 Nephi 12:1

In this quiet, reverent scene, Christ is shown laying His hands on the head of a kneeling man, setting him apart as one of the twelve disciples who would lead His Church among the Nephites. Five others stand nearby with heads bowed in prayer, each waiting in humble stillness for their own call.

There is no spectacle here—only sacred purpose. Through a simple act of touch, authority is passed from the Savior to His chosen servants. The moment captures the beginning of their ministry, marked by faith, humility, and the quiet power of divine appointment.
