Atoning Sacrifice of Jesus Christ: Advocate with the Father



 THE LIVING CHRIST
 THE TESTIMONY OF THE APOSTLES 
THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS

"As we commemorate the birth of Jesus Christ two millennia ago, we offer our testimony of the reality of His matchless life and the infinite virtue of His great atoning sacrifice. None other has had so profound an influence upon all who have lived and will yet live upon the earth. . . . 

“I am the first and the last; I am he who liveth, I am he who was slain; I am your advocate with the Father” (D&C 110:3–4)."

"What is the Atonement?  To atone means to compensate or pay for something.  Jesus Christ's Atonement references His Payment for the sins of mankind.  It has the power to provide hope and alleviate the burden of sin for anyone."

Quote Reference

 What is an advocate?  Someone who supports and speaks up for someone else.   

Reference

In these troubled times, I rely on the comfort and guidance of our Savior Jesus Christ, and am profoundly grateful for his atonement and his willingness to be our advocate with the Father.
