Wow!! Some is way over my understanding! We will never understand what Christ has done for us because we would not have lived through it! Pure love and no words can describe His love. Thank you!
Prompted by the Spirit to search for a 'possible' UA-cam segment you might have created regarding Easter...and miraculously... "Unshaken": The Awful Arithmetic of the Atonement" popped up (a direct, humble answer to prayer). I am weeping as I write this humble note of gratitude for you...your years of personal, spiritual and academic preparation to create this 'condensed' masterpiece of biblical, academic and musical stirring testimony of our dear Savior, our premortal covenant to Him and our Heavenly Father, and our pre-existent fellow spirits to be faithful followers and to be "saviors on Mt. Zion" to our family and those with whom "we know not!" May you continually be blessed with health, strength of purpose and purity of spirit as you bless countless such as myself. May the Lord bless and keep you to this end...Sister Lola Cook.
This is a very in depth look at the Atonement of Christ. One can not walk away with a greater appreciation and understanding of the Love Jesus Chriat has for each of us after watching this video.
Thank you for these words, you do not know how deeply they touched me. I feel such an incredible love for my saviour. It is almost as if he was there right beside me. I felt his spirit and sensed his personality, and could only thank him with incredible gratitude and every depth of my feelings.
My heart is full of gratitude for your amazing weaving of scripture, art, music, and poetry that lifted me to a new perspective of the Atonement! Thank you!!
Watching this a week before Easter 2022. Brother Halverson, you were certainly called to this. Thank you sincerely for taking this up so honorably and expertly.
Wow this brought such a great understanding to me of our Savior and His atonement. It all makes so much sense now. Thank you for sharing your gifts to the world my friend!
Brother Halverson I am so grateful for this beautiful Easter presentation, I didn't watch it before and there's so much more I learned from it; I'm so grateful for the deep insights from every equation in the Awful Arithmetic of Christ Atonement; for declaring Himself also "It is finished" He was and is prepared to understand each of our temptations, he is ready to cleanse our dirt if we repent, comfort us in our suffering and help us to go back to the Father's and His presence. It was a beautiful gallery of pictures explaining what we didn't see but inviting us to reflect on His suffering to change the nature of the flesh; I am grateful for the shared music and the beautiful poem; yes we all will pass through Gethsemane and I hope we can meet our Savior there. ❤
This was so inspiring. Words cannot express the anguish that I feel for the suffering that my Savior suffered because of my sins in the Garden and on the Cross. Thank you Brother Halverson for all that you do.
Brother Halverson. You are blessing to me in my learning things I never put thought to. This arithmetic of the atonement is so awesome. I've been following your come follow me lessons. Love your visuals and teaching . thank you your a great blessing.
I feel so very humbled to be able to learn from this priceless video. Thank you for all you’ve done to prepare to share your understanding with others. I don’t have the words of gratitude to express how this has increased my heart and mind view of the Holiness if the Sacrament.
Thank you for bringing this podcast back again and hope it becomes a wonderful habit or tradition so many more of us can hear it. It is so spiritually moving and presented with the backing of the Holy Ghost to bear truth of your words. Hope it comes out every year. Thx again.
I sent this video to my sister, she replied after viewing: I want to go back through it and look up every scripture. So glad she felt the same gratitude for this priceless video. Have also sent it on to other family members. It can change people because it contains TRUTH.
I'm grateful this lesson has been a blessing to you. I don't know of any other subject that is so important, so worth pondering, so full of hope. Thank you for sharing it with others who might benefit!
You are an amazing teacher! As you were explaining the Atonement of Christ step by step, I had a question come to my mind- “Does Jesus’ Atonement apply to all- not only earthly creation- but ALL creation throughout the universe?” and very soon, you were talking about numberless worlds & their inhabitants being saved by what Jesus did. Imagine the sin, transgression & pain of humanity throughout the lifespan of THIS planet alone weighing down on Him, and then multiply that by all the worlds that are and were...
The Atonement applies to "all creatures". All were given commandments to multiply and replenish the earth. We don't know much else regarding this. But all creatures will be resurrected. And receive a level of glory. Our Lord suffered for them all! It's impossible to comprehend.
Thank you so very much Brother Jared for this heart wrenchingly beautiful tribute to our Savior. I felt so much love and gratitude for Him that I sobbed and sobbed. I have watched it previously but it still fills me to overflowing. May God continue to bless you and your family. And please, don’t stop your wonderful weekly Unshaken broadcasts that fill my heart and soul.
Thank You Brother Halverson, your presentation of the Holy Week, the path to the Cross is much appreciated, to give us some idea of the suffering of Jesus Christ.
A Powerful and moving reminder for us to prepare for the Easter season. When I read Elder Maxwell's comment about the Awful Arithmetic of the Atonement I've often wondered what in-depth meaning this had for all of us and its ramifications? Jared, you sure answered this in great detail and I will be forever grateful. Thank you so much for your presentation and for your Love for the Savior !!!
I had my Holy Bible open and it was just easier to understand easier,then I love the conversation with The Angel and Mary, How it was to be accomplished! Beautiful ❤️ I love the whole talk of Abinadi ❤️
Thank you so much! No treatment can truly do it justice, but it's always a blessing to contemplate that infinite and eternal sacrifice. Thank you for watching.
Thank you brother Halverson l do not have words to describe my feelings for gratitude for my Savior Jesus Christ for what he did for me,😢you are a great teacher and a blessing to us all thank you,l wish you a happy Merry Christmas to you and your wonderful family God bless you all 😊
THANK YOU for sharing this AMAZING Presentation with all who will come and see and seek to understand. I had the opportunity to play the cello many times back in the '90s when this presentation of The Garden was presented in many chapels in America. I'm so grateful for the way that you put these wonderful pictures with this music to send the message even more deeply into our hearts! Thank you for this wonderful blessing!
Thank you... I rarely comment.. but know this that you have helped increase my knowledge and it has blessed me.. God bless you to continue with the spiritual impressions, strength and wisdom to carry on teaching... you have become a dear brother in the gospel of Jesus Christ! Hugs
Thank you Brother Halverson for sharing your immense knowledge and love of the Lord with all of us. I've spent many dozens of hours with you and hope someday I'll get to meet you and shake your hand. Meantime,, keep on keeping on!!!
Brother Halverson thank you so much. I learned so much from this one. Thank you for being willing to share these lessons here it helps bring a sense of depth to Easter today.
I have been pondering the meaning in Mosiah 15 for a awhile and praying on how to understand it. When I first listened to your interpretation, I was skeptical until I read it myself with that lens and it was clear. Thanks for enlightening my understanding!
Nowhere have I ever heard the atonement of Christ explained and expressed SO well as here in this video. Thank you, Jared, for your wonderful preparation and insight. I too was blessed back in 1978 to enjoy BYU Travel Study abroad in Israel. This was the year that President Spencer W Kimball dedicated Orson Hyde park. This was also prior to the BYU Jerusalem Center being built. Looking back to that time in my life it was the turning point that centered my focus for religious study on Christ. Math has always been a love of mine and thanks to you I now understand why. Please continue to share your gospel insights and knowledge of the scriptures. I feel like I have become a dear friend that you have yet to meet. "Hoorah for Israel!"
Thank you so much, Brother Cooper. What an amazing to have been in Israel! I'm grateful for the kinds of friendships that develop through spiritual things!
"As if saying to the Father, 'I don't want to hate them... I want to understand.' Absolutely. Gutted. I think my heart stopped. I'd never thought of 'the additions' that way before. Thank you.
Thank you, Aimee. I know it's a subject close to your heart--which is one of the many reasons you're such a wonderful person. Happy Easter to you and your family!
Thank you Brother Halverson again, for your inspired teachings, your wonderful insights & for sharing this powerful portion of The Garden and these powerful art images to help us open our ears to more fully hear, our eyes to more truly behold, and our hearts to feel & become more broken; to be forever changed and be cleansed and more fully converted to our Savior and His Gospel 😔
What a great devotional about Gethsemane! As you were talking about the Divine side of Christ and the human side which was instructive and insightful, I couldn't help thinking of Mosiah 3:19 where we are invited to put off the natural man, through the atonement of Christ. The result is we become more divine. I am not implying we become equal with God, but that we are invited to become like Him. We are given commandments to put off the natural man and become more divine. We are dual beings having a spiritual and a mortal side and continually in scripture and by the words of our prophets we are invited to foster the spiritual side of our natures. Love this channel!
What a perfect cross-reference for that concept! We definitely share in a duality of our own, and Christ shows us the perfect example of having the will of one swallowed up in the will of the other. Thanks for sharing!
First off I so love Elder Maxwell, he became a sort of surrogate father in my college and early married years. I treasure this message and your insight. Being an artist I cherish the fact that you used art and music to help us see. I also love the music from “the garden”. I hope you know you are so important to God because you help clarify and Enrich my gospel study.
At 52:36 you asked a question. Upon hearing it I felt that the answer has to be nothing. What more could Satan have offered which hadn't already been placed on the table. When we are going through trials, one thing which makes our endurance through them just that much easier is the opposition directly in our path. As an example, there are accounts of Jewish faith being strongest during their times of affliction (scripturally) and during the holocaust in modern day times. When trying to push through adversity, detracting temptations tend to have a strengthening and bolstering effect for the committed soul rather than being a hindrance. By letting Jesus be alone with his suffering, Christ would have no one and nothing to fight against but himself. This struggle has been, is, and yet will be the most difficult one for us to overcome. Indeed it is the reason we have come to this phase of our existence; to have our will tested. As you illustrated so masterfully, Jesus asked for the cup's removal three times but overcame his own weakness in asking thrice as well. I believe Satan's interference could only have helped Jesus in his noble task. Your question stirred something inside my soul and since you've taken it upon yourself to send your understanding out to us, I hope to return the favor in hopes that it may be of some benefit to you or someone else. Thank you for your efforts. You are proving to be a spiritual equivalent of Jordan B Peterson for me.
Thank You ♥Thank You ♥Thank You♥ for the very insightful message and all that you do. May God continue to bless and keep you and your family! My husband and I are devoted followers now on the Unshaken channel, just joining at the end of the Old Testament. Now that we're in the New Testament we are eating up all you teach us as we come closer to Christ! I went back 2 yrs to watch this episode after watching your recent Easter Presentation on Holy Week! WOW!!! Amazing. And this was so beautiful as well! I just thank the Lord for you so much and the work you are doing not only for us but the World! Our prayers are with you and your family that you can continue this great work! ♥
Brother Halverson, thank you so much for all you do and for the time you spend making this podcast. I just came across your podcast at the beginning of this year and the insights you've taught me has made a huge difference in my personal scripture study. Have you ever thought about writing books or commentaries? You have different insights than any I've ever heard from any other teacher. Keep up the great work!
This was THE most beautiful understanding I’ve ever experienced!! So beautiful the painting of Father kissing son!!! I adore your love of the doctrine light bearers!! Oh your tenderness toward John....♥️🕊♥️and all of that song! I was a sobbing mess!!
Thank you for this. How deep and broad are the expanses of all that God does for us. To allow us to freely choose and for His suffering watching our selfish ways. While His Son paid the price for each one of us. The oratory is precious. Thank you!
If you do not feel the power of the Holy Spirit demanding truth in your mind at some point in this video, you are not in tune. It happened for me at about 48:00 for at least a couple minutes. When did it happen for you? Now and then it was there. The strongest for me was at that 48:00 time.
Great video. I too had wondered why John skipped over the Atonement but your answer was very satisfying. I'm convinced that there were heavenly onlookers, blown away and stunned by what they were witnessing. "I have trodden the winepress alone; and of the people there was none with me... their blood shall be sprinkled upon my garments, and I will stain all my raiment. For the day of vengeance is in mine heart, and the year of my redeemed is come. And I looked, and there was none to help; and I wondered that there was none to uphold: therefore mine own arm brought salvation unto me" (Isaiah 63:3-5).
Thank u Jared u r a rising star ⭐️ ur life gives me faith in the day star shining bright ☀️ w/ future leadership in these latter days (Eph 1.10) of the greatest calling is that of a teacher - no greater call (Moses 6.23)! The atONEment (dc 19) is the MOST important; yet, least understood doctrine it is truly the GOSPEL of Jesus Christ to which all else is merely an appendage to it! I am an elderly individual & i have not heard a dissection of the atONEment like this since Cleon Skousen laid it forth in the appendix of the first Two Thousand years as he was influenced by Elder John Wistdoe when he served his mission in Ireland 🇮🇪 as I did also. Thank the Lord for u Puerto Rican 🇵🇷 missionaries ! I love u my brother our marvelous opportunity for life to have our missions be the foundation (dc 4) for the rest of our lives to help strive, not merely try, to make the atONEment efficacious (3 Ne 13.34) each & e/day (dc 20.77,79) in our personal lives (2 Cor 13.5) & ministry (Acts 10.38-42)!
Thank you for your insights and willingness to study w us! Enjoyed your break out session at the last North Star conference - your a blessing to soooo many! Happy Easter!
Thank you so much for this explanation of Abinidi’s words on this subject. I have struggled and struggled with putting it into intelligible language my whole life. I knew what was meant but I could never say it correctly. Thanks again.
Maybe the reason why John didn't include a first hand account is because it was so personal and so sacred that he couldn't record it. Perhaps each of the Apostles who were in close proximately to one another would have hear and or witnessed their own sins being Atoned for, that Peter, James, and John would feel it too sacred to write and share with the World, let alone other Disciples. Knowing just how sacred the event when the Righteous Nephites and Lamanites witnessed the Sacred Prayers of the Savior, one could only imagine the intensity and the very Sacred Language used during Jesus Christ's Atonement, the Pinnacle Moment in time.
Maybe the reason why John didn't include a first hand account, is because it was so personal, and so sacred, that he might feel like he couldn't record it. Perhaps he was even instructed not to include the Sacred Atoning Words of Jesus Christ, except for the initial Atonement Prayer as Recorded in the Testimonies of Mathew, Mark, and Luke. Perhaps each of the Apostles who were the closest in proximately to Jesus Christ, would have heard and or witnessed their own sins being Atoned for them. Thus, Peter, James, and John would feel it Too Sacred to write and share with the World; even between other Disciples. Knowing just how sacred the event was when the Righteous Nephites and Lamanites witnessed the Sacred Prayers of the Savior, one could only imagine the intensity, and the very Sacred Language, used during Jesus Christ's Atonement.
When I have read the Gospel of John, at first it appeared to me that John skipped over the whole experience. But then it occurred to me that the intersessory prayer was the essence of the Gethsemane experience. Further, if I concider that the Gospel of John is a letter written to the returning Twelve Tribes, and is his wittness to them of the restoration, what then opens up?
This is so moving. I’ve watched it several times. I wish I could find lyrics to Not My Will. I have been unable to find them. It’s difficult to make out the words. It feels good to give the best I have, my tears. Thank you so much
Like, if God already went through all of this living dying etc in his “human”time how did he forget about sin and the pain that comes with it? Isn’t he all powerful and knows all? Why go through the extra step of theatrical proportions to kill someone to only forgive them when he could already do it himself? I just don’t understand.
This is a gift that keeps on giving more with every listen, year after year!
Thank you, Brother Halvorsen!
Wow!! Some is way over my understanding! We will never understand what Christ has done for us because we would not have lived through it! Pure love and no words can describe His love. Thank you!
One of the most beautiful, masterclasses on the atonement I've ever heard. And I would finish "in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen".
Prompted by the Spirit to search for a 'possible' UA-cam segment you might have created regarding Easter...and miraculously... "Unshaken": The Awful Arithmetic of the Atonement" popped up (a direct, humble answer to prayer). I am weeping as I write this humble note of gratitude for you...your years of personal, spiritual and academic preparation to create this 'condensed' masterpiece of biblical, academic and musical stirring testimony of our dear Savior, our premortal covenant to Him and our Heavenly Father, and our pre-existent fellow spirits to be faithful followers and to be "saviors on Mt. Zion" to our family and those with whom "we know not!" May you continually be blessed with health, strength of purpose and purity of spirit as you bless countless such as myself. May the Lord bless and keep you to this end...Sister Lola Cook.
Thank you so much, Sister Cook. I'm grateful this lesson was a blessing to you. The scriptures discussed here have definitely been a blessing to me.
This is a very in depth look at the Atonement of Christ. One can not walk away with a greater appreciation and understanding of the Love Jesus Chriat has for each of us after watching this video.
Beautiful comment! ❤
Thank you for these words, you do not know how deeply they touched me. I feel such an incredible love for my saviour. It is almost as if he was there right beside me. I felt his spirit and sensed his personality, and could only thank him with incredible gratitude and every depth of my feelings.
Thank you fore this lesson. God bless you.
I love your teaching style, and every video you make,
Thank you very much ♥️♥️♥️
My heart is full of gratitude for your amazing weaving of scripture, art, music, and poetry that lifted me to a new perspective of the Atonement! Thank you!!
I wish this was available as a printed copy. I'd love to be able to read and mark it. Amazing! Thank you for clarifying so much.
Watching this a week before Easter 2022. Brother Halverson, you were certainly called to this. Thank you sincerely for taking this up so honorably and expertly.
Wow this brought such a great understanding to me of our Savior and His atonement. It all makes so much sense now. Thank you for sharing your gifts to the world my friend!

It's impossible to comprehend.
We have been spiritually fed. Thank you.
I'm so grateful. Best of all, the gospel is like the loaves and fishes--enough to fill you, but always with basket-fulls left over!
Profound and wonderful. It is the best explanation of the Atonement of Jesus Christ.
Watching this again. I am as touched as I was last year. Beautiful, beautiful!
💛
Watching again in 2023. This is touching beyond words.
@b1of4bs and again in 2024. This will be a yearly masterclass for me, until I leave this frail existence.
I’m watching this again, in 2024. Thank you!
Thank you so very much Brother Jared for this heart wrenchingly beautiful tribute to our Savior. I felt so much love and gratitude for Him that I sobbed and sobbed. I have watched it previously but it still fills me to overflowing. May God continue to bless you and your family.

There's no more powerful principle in all of eternity. Shedding tears over Jesus' shedding blood seems a fitting response to me. "I stand all amazed"!
THANK YOU for sharing this AMAZING Presentation with all who will come and see and seek to understand.
I had the opportunity to play the cello many times back in the '90s when this presentation of The Garden was presented in many chapels in America.
I'm so grateful for the way that you put these wonderful pictures with this music to send the message even more deeply into our hearts!
Thank you for this wonderful blessing!

I'm so grateful it was a blessing to you. Happy Easter!
I have been pondering the meaning in Mosiah 15 for a awhile and praying on how to understand it. When I first listened to your interpretation, I was skeptical until I read it myself with that lens and it was clear. Thanks for enlightening my understanding!
I know what you mean. Tricky passage until we read it in context. Chapter breaks can be unfortunate interruptions at times! Thanks for tuning in!
So complex. So priceless a gift. Thank you.
This was a masterpiece from beginning to end! 🙏
Thank you for this wonderful discourse.
I'm grateful it was a blessing to you. Thank you for tuning in!
Thank you for NOT injecting background music in this. I just want to listen to your beautiful instruction. ❤
I truly appreciate all of your preparation. I feel closer to the Lord when I hear you sharing His words. Thank you!

Thank you for this thoughtful, inspiring lesson on the atonement. We are going to listen to this on Thursday this Semana Santa.,
"As if saying to the Father, 'I don't want to hate them... I want to understand.'
Absolutely. Gutted.
I think my heart stopped. I'd never thought of 'the additions' that way before. Thank you.
Thank you, Aimee. I know it's a subject close to your heart--which is one of the many reasons you're such a wonderful person. Happy Easter to you and your family!

Wow, masterful thank you for sharing your grasp of the gospel with me. Thank You.
Thank you Jared for your “preparations” which yielded us all this Easter gift.
Thank you for receiving it in the spirit it was given. It was a blessing to spend some extra time in Gethsemane. Happy Easter!
Thank you for the song.
Absolutely beautiful
Thank you 🙏
Just an awesome retelling of the Atonement of Jesus Christ...i learned so much. It really opened my understanding.
This is a comprehensive explanation of Jesus as the Father and the Son.
Wow! That montage was incredible. It pierces to the heart.
Thank you for sharing this great lesson
First off I so love Elder Maxwell, he became a sort of surrogate father in my college and early married years. I treasure this message and your insight. Being an artist I cherish the fact that you used art and music to help us see. I also love the music from “the garden”. I hope you know you are so important to God because you help clarify and Enrich my gospel study.
The music video was stunning and amazing. I loved the poem, also. Thank you for this.
No one can do as Jesus did i love Him as my savior & my ❤️ Redemer &my God

WOW!!! Amazing. And this was so beautiful as well! I just thank the Lord for you so much and the work you are doing not only for us but the World! Our prayers are with you and your family that you can continue this great work! ♥
Thank you so much for sharing your insights.
Thank you again and again happy Easter God bless you and family
Watching again. Thank you
Brother Halverson, thank you so much for all you do and for the time you spend making this podcast. I just came across your podcast at the beginning of this year and the insights you've taught me has made a huge difference in my personal scripture study. Have you ever thought about writing books or commentaries? You have different insights than any I've ever heard from any other teacher. Keep up the great work!
Thank you brother Halverson. Hope you will continue this format - even after the school year is out!
Glad you're enjoying them! I'll do my best to keep 'em coming :)
I am so glad you include visuals! Thank you for sharing so much!
I’m a visual learner too! It really helps me anchor the words in my heart
I love this lesson. Thank you Brother Halverson. Happy Easter 💐
There is no one as thorough as Brother Halverson in Gospel study. I share his weekly Unshaken episodes with all the adult members in our Ward.
"Yes, the atoning blood of Jesus Christ does indeed cover ALL of Israel." Wow. Thanks for this video!
I'm grateful it was a blessing to you. There's no more powerful or important topic to study and ponder!
Thank, Brother Halverson. I love this video and it's messages! Happy Easter!❤❤❤
This was THE most beautiful understanding I’ve ever experienced!!
So beautiful the painting of Father kissing son!!! I adore your love of the doctrine light bearers!! Oh your tenderness toward John....♥️🕊♥️and all of that song! I was a sobbing mess!!
Thank you for this. How deep and broad are the expanses of all that God does for us. To allow us to freely choose and for His suffering watching our selfish ways. While His Son paid the price for each one of us. The oratory is precious. Thank you!
Watching this for another time
Love this video... 0:56
Thank you Brother Halverson for your insight and understanding. Thank you for sharing. Thank you for helping me on my way back home.
Thank you Jesus…
If you do not feel the power of the Holy Spirit demanding truth in your mind at some point in this video, you are not in tune.
It happened for me at about 48:00 for at least a couple minutes. When did it happen for you?
Now and then it was there. The strongest for me was at that 48:00 time.
Thank you for being open to the Spirit's promptings and power. He is the real teacher, but He requires a ready student!
Watching on Good Friday 2023 still in preparation for Easter. Thank you Brother Halverson!
Thank you so much for your gift of teaching - It makes the COVID 19 pandemic more bearable.
I'm grateful it's helped make a difference! Thanks for letting me be a part of your scripture study!
Thank you for the insight
Great video. I too had wondered why John skipped over the Atonement but your answer was very satisfying. I'm convinced that there were heavenly onlookers, blown away and stunned by what they were witnessing.
"I have trodden the winepress alone; and of the people there was none with me... their blood shall be sprinkled upon my garments, and I will stain all my raiment. For the day of vengeance is in mine heart, and the year of my redeemed is come. And I looked, and there was none to help; and I wondered that there was none to uphold: therefore mine own arm brought salvation unto me" (Isaiah 63:3-5).
Thank u Jared u r a rising star ⭐️ ur life gives me faith in the day star shining bright ☀️ w/ future leadership in these latter days (Eph 1.10) of the greatest calling is that of a teacher - no greater call (Moses 6.23)!
The atONEment (dc 19) is the MOST important; yet, least understood doctrine it is truly the GOSPEL of Jesus Christ to which all else is merely an appendage to it!
I am an elderly individual & i have not heard a dissection of the atONEment like this since Cleon Skousen laid it forth in the appendix of the first Two Thousand years as he was influenced by Elder John Wistdoe when he served his mission in Ireland 🇮🇪 as I did also. Thank the Lord for u Puerto Rican 🇵🇷 missionaries !
I love u my brother our marvelous opportunity for life to have our missions be the foundation (dc 4) for the rest of our lives to help strive, not merely try, to make the atONEment efficacious (3 Ne 13.34) each & e/day (dc 20.77,79) in our personal lives (2 Cor 13.5) & ministry (Acts 10.38-42)!
55:15 perhaps His Heavenly Mother
oh this is a life worth living!
I just found out yesterday about this. I know only through God that I was given this incredible information. Thank you, dear Brother .
Thank you for your insights and willingness to study w us! Enjoyed your break out session at the last North Star conference - your a blessing to soooo many! Happy Easter!
Thank you so much for this explanation of Abinidi’s words on this subject. I have struggled and struggled with putting it into intelligible language my whole life. I knew what was meant but I could never say it correctly. Thanks again.
Maybe the reason why John didn't include a first hand account is because it was so personal and so sacred that he couldn't record it.
Perhaps each of the Apostles who were in close proximately to one another would have hear and or witnessed their own sins being Atoned for, that Peter, James, and John would feel it too sacred to write and share with the World, let alone other Disciples. Knowing just how sacred the event when the Righteous Nephites and Lamanites witnessed the Sacred Prayers of the Savior, one could only imagine the intensity and the very Sacred Language used during Jesus Christ's Atonement, the Pinnacle Moment in time.
Maybe the reason why John didn't include a first hand account, is because it was so personal, and so sacred, that he might feel like he couldn't record it. Perhaps he was even instructed not to include the Sacred Atoning Words of Jesus Christ, except for the initial Atonement Prayer as Recorded in the Testimonies of Mathew, Mark, and Luke.
Perhaps each of the Apostles who were the closest in proximately to Jesus Christ, would have heard and or witnessed their own sins being Atoned for them. Thus, Peter, James, and John would feel it Too Sacred to write and share with the World; even between other Disciples.

Yes, we definitely witnessed, even premortally. :)
Amen! The key now is to keep doing it!
When I have read the Gospel of John, at first it appeared to me that John skipped over the whole experience. But then it occurred to me that the intersessory prayer was the essence of the Gethsemane experience.
Further, if I concider that the Gospel of John is a letter written to the returning Twelve Tribes, and is his wittness to them of the restoration, what then opens up?
Incredible musical piece! Was that from the ‘Garden Oratorio’?
Yes! Such an amazing piece of music.
The Garden is magnificent. It has touched my heart and mind often. Thank you for sharing this selection in this discussion.,
This is so moving. I’ve watched it several times. I wish I could find lyrics to Not My Will. I have been unable to find them. It’s difficult to make out the words. It feels good to give the best I have, my tears. Thank you so much
The Angel was His Heavenly Mother - who else would know how to succor Him & who could have kept Her from His side....
I still don’t understand why can’t God just forgive himself. Why take an extra (arguably unnecessary) step of killing a innocent person.
Like, if God already went through all of this living dying etc in his “human”time how did he forget about sin and the pain that comes with it? Isn’t he all powerful and knows all? Why go through the extra step of theatrical proportions to kill someone to only forgive them when he could already do it himself? I just don’t understand.
Absolutely love this thank you so much
