“One Fold and One Shepherd”

Brant Gardner

In this image of Christ as the care-giving shepherd, Nephi juxtaposes the gathering of Israel against its scattering, with which he began his discourse. The concepts are complementary. He had earlier explained the promises of the gathering; now in Christ they become prophetic reality.
