This is the equivalent of Kandace's temporary post. Minus the cool picture. and Minus the intellectual banter. haha
Something cool learned today in church again. It wasn't the nails that kept Christ on the cross. It was His pure love for us. In Heaven, God asked for someone to be our Savior. Christ got chosen. He was to suffer for our sins and did so in the garden of Gethsemane. But in the end, He also suffered for all our ailments, illnesses, sadness, heartaches, pains...EVEN THOUGH that wasn't part of the contract that he agreed to in Heaven. He decided to suffer it for us. So that instead of just redeeming us. He can now put His arms around us. And say to us. Be of good cheer. I have suffered even as thee. Be of good cheer. It soon shall pass.
Doctrine and Covenants 122:8 "The Son of Man hath descended below them all. Art thou greater than he?"
I used to be confused over this scripture. If He is below all, how can He be greater than us. Received this thought halfway through class today. Because He descended below all things, because He experienced everything. He knows how to help us rise above out daily difficulties. There is now no human problem beyond his capability to solve.
In army terms, Christ went beyond his call of duty. He is a true example of servant leadership.
This is just a thought for this Easter Season. (:
