“It is Expedient That I Should Go Unto the Father for Your Sakes”

Joseph F. McConkie, Robert L. Millet
In order to more perfectly fulfill his mission to the Nephites, it was necessary for Jesus to return to his Father. The record does not say why, or what he received from the Father. See commentary on 3 Nephi 17:3-4.
