The Father and the Son
Mosiah 15:1-9
Our Savior, the Son,
suffered according to the flesh.
His mortality allowed him to
experience, suffer, know,
our pains, our trials.
Though sinless, he bore our sins.
He reaches out with knowing mercy,
intimately acquainted with our griefs.
He understands, he nurtures, he heals.
If we will but turn to him.
Our Redeemer, the Father,
God-begotten and God-empowered,
chose perfect obedience,
despite the trials of the flesh.
He shows us the way,
because He walked it perfectly.
Empowered to suffer the
atonement without dying.
A terrible suffering that caused Him,
our Creator, to shrink and yet He
endured it to the end,
opening the doors of
repentance, and to enter
God's presence again.
Empowered to take up His
life, after He'd given it for us.
Opening the doors of
resurrection and eternal life.
The Son and the Father,
titles of Christ.
His mortal side gave Him suffering,
so He could pay for our sins and
nurture us with perfect understanding.
His divine side gave Him power,
to open the doors of eternity for us.
For us. He did all this for us.
And for His Father.
With Love.
