Alma 34:8 Behold, I say unto you, that I do know that Christ shall come among the children of men, to take upon him the transgressions of his people
In Spanish the word used almost always instead of people is pueblo. It could just say for las personas, or la gente, which would mean a group of people. But instead of saying "a group of people" it says pueblo,
If you think of pueblo as a community or a group of people residing together, I think it brings more of a feeling of Christ's group who surround Him. People can be defined as separate individuals who are standing together or are counted together, but are individuals. The word pueblo brings more of a group/community feeling. I think that is the feeling we can have as we come unto Christ. We are not just one of His people but are part of his pueblo.
