“Now I Finish the Commandment Which the Father Hath Commanded Me”

Bryan Richards

The Savior is referring to the commandment received of the Father to warn the Gentiles of the last days. This theme was taught in 3 Nephi 16:8-20, but he could not continue because they were weak in understanding (3 Nephi 17:2). The Savior had more to say and he did not fulfill this commandment until all of his sermon (comprising 3 Nephi 20-22) was given. The amount of time he gave to this topic and the Father's specific commands regarding it underscores its importance.
