“The Savior finds joy in bringing to pass our immortality
and eternal life. In speaking of the Savior’s Atonement, President Russell M.
Nelson said: ‘As in all things, Jesus Christ is our ultimate exemplar, who for
the joy that was set before him endured the cross. Think of that! In order for
Him to endure the most excruciating experience ever endured on earth, our
Savior focused on joy! What was the joy that was set before Him? Surely it
included the joy of cleansing, healing, and strengthening us; the joy of paying
for the sins of all who would repent; the joy of making it possible for you and
me to return home—clean and worthy—to live with our Heavenly Parents and
families.’ Similarly, the joy set before us is the joy of assisting the Savior
in His work of redemption. As the seed and children of Abraham, we participate
in blessing all the families of the earth.” – Elder D. Todd Christofferson
