Burial of Jesus by Carl Bloch
Our lesson this week was on the Crucifixion. Jesus suffered and died for all of us. It's a MIRACLE! Elder C. Scott Grow spoke last conference on "The Miracle of the Atonement". I chose some excerpts to share here:
We access the Atonement through repentance.
Everything in the gospel of Jesus Christ points toward the atoning sacrifice of the Messiah, the Son of God.
The plan of salvation could not be brought about without an atonement.
The atoning sacrifice had to be carried out by the sinless Son of God, for fallen man could not atone for his own sins.
Through His suffering and death, the Savior atoned for the sins of all men. His Atonement began in Gethsemane and continued on the cross and culminated with the Resurrection.
Because of His infinite love, Jesus Christ invites us to repent so that we will not have to suffer the full weight of our own sins.
When we sin, Satan tells us we are lost. In contrast, our Redeemer offers redemption to all—no matter what we have done wrong—even to you and to me.
There is no sin or transgression, pain or sorrow, which is outside of the healing power of His Atonement.
The healing and redemptive power of the Atonement is available to each of us—always.
Jesus Christ
is the Great Healer
of our souls.
