God himself came down among us

It is quite important this Easter season to consider the remarkable things the Savior did. Here's how an angel described it to King Benjamin in mosiah 3:

5 For behold, the time cometh, and is not far distant, that with power, the aLord bOmnipotent who creigneth, who was, and is from all deternity to all eternity, shall come down from heaven among the children of men, and shall dwell in a etabernacle of clay, and shall go forth amongst men, working mighty fmiracles, such as healing the sick, raising the dead, causing the lame to walk, thegblind to receive their sight, and the deaf to hear, and curing all manner of diseases.

6 And he shall cast out adevils, or the bevil spirits which dwell in the hearts of the children of men.

7 And lo, he shall asuffer btemptations, and pain of body, chunger, thirst, and fatigue, even more than man can dsuffer, except it be unto death; for behold, eblood cometh from every pore, so great shall be his fanguish for the wickedness and the abominations of his people.

God himself, the Omnipotent/all-powerful Being, came down to be among men and help them; in doing this he showed some what he can do for all - heal from all infirmities and troubles, including those of the heart. Then also, he suffered for all the sins and wickedness of his people.

I would like to meet this God and understand him better. Certainly he didn't have to do what he did. I know he did though. I have felt the effects of it, and I've been blessed to see miracles worked through his name on many occasions.

Happy Easter. He is Risen.
