Pondering The Atonement of Jesus Christ

Jesus Christ is the eternal pivotal figure in human existence, premortal, mortal and postmortal. His atoning sacrifice is the greatest personal gift ever given. This short, simple book invites a deeper investigation into the defining moment on the cross when God the Father had to withdraw his presence and allow his Only Begotten Son in the flesh to bear our sins, our infirmities, every possible human experience, completely and utterly alone. The agony Jesus endured in Gethsemane and on the cross was not a collage of random pains heaped upon him. Jesus experienced and identified exactly which pain would be felt by you, and which pain would be felt by me. He understood precisely how and why and when we would feel each and every pain we would ever feel. He knows how to succor us personally and individually and privately. He will help us and unite us and perfect us, if we will turn to him and allow him to do so. He lives. He is the living Son of the living God. He knows your name. He knows you. He knows me. Hear Him.
