"my time is at hand" (3 Nephi 17:1)
Essentially, "it's time for me to go". Yet after doing so observes the multitude to be sad at His departure. This is a stark contrast from the shunning, persecution, and eventual crucifixion He had recently experienced. He responds with compassion, stating:
"Have ye any that are sick among you? Bring them hither. Have ye any that are lame, or blind, or halt, or maimed, or leprous, or that are withered, or that are deaf, or that are afflicted in any manner? (3 Nephi 17:7)
The addition of "afflicted in any manner" implies that ALL were invited to come unto Him and be healed. The same is true in our day as the Atonement's effect is ever reaching, having no limits. We are invited to come unto Him, today and everyday and find peace and healing in our lives.
