Question of the day: What do these verses teach us about the power of prayer?
I'm not sure this is the right question for these verses. Verses 18 - 21 certainly cover the topic of prayer, but then the rest of the verses seem to cover the topic of coming unto the Savior. They had the opportunity to all come unto the Savior and to feel the wounds in his hands, feet, and side. In this way they were bound to Him personally and had a special connection with Him ever afterwards, more than a faithful testimony. And he mentions that no one was turned away from Him. Then the discussion turns to that of the sacrament which he wants everyone to be welcome to as well. To me the message was more about how to I help souls come unto Christ. How do we support others to the end that they can create a bond with the Savior? How do I help them feel welcome at church, for home teaching, repent and be baptized, or repent and partake of the sacrament.
