1 Nephi 19:8-9

In verse 8, Nephi states that Jesus Christ will come to the earth 600 years after Lehi left Jerusalem. In the next verse, Nephi tell a little about His life. Nephi had seen a vision of the life of Jesus Christ in 1 Nephi, chapter 11. The more particular connections to this verse were in 1 Nephi 11:32-33. Nephi says that because of the world's iniquity they shall judge Him to be a thing of naught. I think that this is as true now as it was when Jesus came. Nephi testifies that they will scourge Him and He will suffer it, or allow it or endure it. They will smite Him and He will suffer it. This suffering and non-retaliation is because of His loving kindness and long-suffering towards the children of men. He truly does love us. He loved those who were His enemies and His friends. He could have retaliated as He did in the temple that one time. But, He loved and loves all men so much that he died for them. He had to let them do it, in order for His sacrifice to be complete. Now, we can return and live with Them in heaven again.
