How appropriate we get to study Elder Oak’s talk on the Atonement on this Easter Sunday! I pray that we will come away more fully understanding the Atonement and how we can apply it in our lives.
“Most scriptural accounts of the Atonement concern the Savior’s breaking the bands of death and suffering for our sins….but he also...experienced the pains and sicknesses and infirmities of His people.”
President Boyd K. Packer explained, “He had no debt to pay. He had committed no wrong. Nevertheless, an accumulation of all of the guilt, the grief and sorrow, the pain and humiliation, all of the mental, emotional, and physical torments known to man – He experienced them all.”
And he will take upon him their infirmities, that his bowels may be filled with mercy, according to the flesh, that he may know according to the flesh how to succor his people according to their infirmities. Alma 7:12
(Succor means to give relief or aid to.)
We all have devastating trials in our lives. The healing and peace from the Atonement is the only way to heal from such devastation and loss. The Savior felt ALL things so he could truly understand and help us in our infirmities.
Through our Savior’s Atonement, “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me”. Philippians 4:13.
I’m looking forward to your insights this coming Sunday!
