When Jesus came to the Nephites do you think they were excited? Did they jump up and down and say, “Hurray hurray”? They did not. They did not even say hello. Instead, they fell flat on their faces and tried not to move. They were hiding like rabbits. And like rabbits their hearts were beating really fast and they were really nervous. Perhaps they were thinking, “If we don’t move, He won’t see us.”

Now you might think that this is strange to try and hide from someone who is hovering above you, shining like the sun. Of course He will see you. It is very hard to hide from the sun, and much harder to hide from Jesus. But that is not the only thing that makes their hiding strange. The strangest thing is why would anyone want to hide from Jesus?
