He suffers so we don't have to




Hello everyone! I want to share something very special with y'all. When Christ suffered in Gethsemane, He felt every pain, sorrow, sickness, death, sin, and infirmity. (Alma 7:11-13) When we have any feeling of sadness, despair, doubt, or loneliness and we feel like no one can relate, Christ has felt it all. But He still continues to take upon himself pain and trials to protect us because He loves us so much. He steps in and allows us to be free from the despair and sorrow. When he sees that we are suffering, he steps in and suffers so we don't have to.
The Atonement was performed for us. Christ says in 1 Nephi 21:16, "Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands." When Christ was crucified, it was for two reasons. 1, it was His Father's will. It was He who has to perform that sacrifice. And 2, because He loves us. And because He loves us so much, He died for us so it is possible to return to Him. He literally died for each and every one of us, and that is a debt that can not be repaid.
I want to share this video that I absolutely love. It shows how much Christ loves us and will take away our pain so we can become closer to Him. It demonstrates just how much Christ wants us to stay with him and to be happy.
Always remember how much you are loved by a perfect being. His love for you is perfect and eternal. Never forget!
