In Sunday School this month we have been learning about the atonement of Jesus Christ. No one really knows exactly what happened during the atonement but the Savior himself said in Luke 22:41-44,
"He was withdrawn from them about a stone's cast, and kneeled down, and prayed, Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done. And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him. And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground."
I can't even imagine the physical, mental, and spiritual pain that he felt! He even had the Spirit leave him!
He did it for us! For you! For me! He would have done it were I the only one living upon this earth. That's how important it was for our salvation. I am so grateful that I can have my burdens lifted because of it! I can repent and have all that guilt taken away from me because of his atonement. I know the Savior Jesus Christ is real! I know He lives! I know that he suffered in that garden so that I can repent and try each day to live a better life.
