Jeffry Holland: None Were With Him

OK, missed a week while I was in San Francisco. Here's an early start, nine days to read a seminal message on Jesus Christ and what his suffering means for us.

"But Jesus held on. He pressed on. The goodness in Him allowed faith to triumph even in a state of complete anguish. The trust He lived by told Him in spite of His feelings that divine compassion is never absent, that God is always faithful, that He never flees nor fails us."

Read the whole talk.

Great Mark,

This will definitely be a classic of a talk for over the years because of his life for Christ and understanding of His atonement.

I will read!!

This talk gives more meaning to the comfort Christ gave Joseph Smith in the midst of his troubles:

The Son of Man hath descended below them all. Art thou greater than he?
Therefore, hold on thy way, and the priesthood shall remain with thee; for their bounds are set, they cannot pass. Thy days are known, and thy years shall not be numbered less; therefore, fear not what man can do, for God shall be with you forever and ever.

I hope we can develop this trust in God, to uphold us in our efforts, and to turn to him for strength.
