“They Were Encircled About with Fire; and the Angels Did Minister Unto Them”
One of the most touching episodes in the Book of Mormon is the result of the Savior’s blessing of the little children. This chapter certifies that religion is more than doctrine, more than theology, more even than selfless service. Religion is a thing of the heart. Religion is lived. And religion is felt. Being encircled about with fire is a tangible symbol of the outpouring of the Holy Spirit (compare Nephi and Lehi’s experience in Helaman 5:23-49).
