- Finding Comfort in Jesus Christ's Solitary Journey . Elder Jeffrey R. Holland, a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles shares his testimony that because Jesus walked such a long, lonely path utterly alone, we do not have to do so.
Now I speak very carefully, even reverently, of what may have been the most difficult moment in all of this solitary journey to Atonement. That concluding descent into the paralyzing despair of divine withdrawal when He cries in ultimate loneliness, “My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?” With all the conviction of my soul I testify that He did please His Father perfectly and that a perfect Father did not forsake His Son in that hour. Nevertheless, that the supreme sacrifice of His Son might be as complete as it was voluntary and solitary, the Father briefly withdrew from Jesus the comfort of His Spirit. It was required, indeed it was central to the significance of the Atonement, that this perfect Son who had never spoken ill nor done wrong nor touched an unclean thing had to know how the rest of humankind would feel when we did commit such sins. His Atonement to be infinite and eternal, He had to feel what it was like to die not only physically but spiritually. When the uttermost farthing had then been paid, then finally and mercifully, it was “finished.” Against all odds, Jesus of Nazareth, the living Son of the living God, restored physical life where death had held sway and brought joyful, spiritual redemption out of sin, hellish darkness, and despair. One of the great consolations of this Easter season is that because Jesus walked such a long, lonely path utterly alone, we do not have to do so. This Easter week and always, may we stand by Jesus Christ “at all times and in all things, and in all places that [we] may be in, even until death,” for surely that is how He stood by us when it was unto death and when He had to stand entirely and utterly alone. #BecauseofHim

The sacrifice of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ allows us to go back to our Heavenly Father utterly clean and totally changed by his merciful grace!! I hooe one day I could fall to his feet and thank him for having torn down all obstacles.
And sometimes He raises obstacles or trials for us so we can learn to become more like Him. My mother suffered with an autoimmune disease from her early twenties that eventually took her life. She was grateful and uncomplaing in her suffering. And she truly suffered. I'll tell you though, no one was closer to our Heavanly Father then she was and she truly became more like him. He was her support and comfort.
I am forever grateful for my Savior and King.
I love our Savior Jesus Christ! He gave his life so we could live again and again return to God's presence.
We have a loving God who loves us, not based of our work, look, or accomplishment but simply because we are his children. Glory be to him forever and ever. Amen🙏
Hosanna! For it is truly through God and our savior that we are saved and can have true joy in this life!
Thank you Jesus for your atonement! I know that your grace will save me.
I love Jesus Christ with all my heart, mind and spirit and I thank LDS missionaries for the meeting. GBY
He was a comprehending Savior. A perfect Christ thru this act.
The love of God is too much to fully comprehend. I'm so grateful, though.
My Lord and Savior. My friend. My brother. I love you Jesus. Thank you for loving me. I love you too.
Painful to think about. Wonderful to remember... He lives. "Hosanna to God and the Lamb!"
Praise Jesus!!!
This clip never gets old, always touching, always moving, and a reminder of the love our savior has for us and how we love him.
So eloquently and edifyingly well said Elder Holland.
Thank you Jesus Christ your sacrifice for the opportunity to change and to become better
Thank you Jesus, I feel like I can not fully and properly express my thanks to you but thank you for everything you do, dying for our sins, and keeping us all safe and being there then and even until now, Thank you. ❤ Amen 🙏❤
God Bless The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.🙏
In some of my darkest moments, whenever I've cried out to the Lord for help and mercy, He has always given me exactly what I needed to get through. I'm touched every time I think about what Christ went through for me, and every day my understanding of His sacrifice deepens. I'm grateful for the hardships of life, for they allow me to understand its beauty. Thank you for republishing this amazing talk by Elder Holland!
I never can watch my Lord myGod in pain!or being mocked! He is my Lord and my redeemer! He is my everything!
Oh, man. What a great message and testimony.
Nobody is able to harness the English language better than Elder Holland - what a perfect way to present a fresh angle on the atonement of Jesus Christ. Thank you Elder Holland. We love you.
Because He is risen , we can be saved !!! Thanks to God Almighty and to Jesus Christ and The Holy Spirit!! Thanks Jesus that you was obey God Almighty and went all the way !!! The cross's dead and get risen of your Father in Heaven !!!
Such a beautiful talk❤️ What our Savior had to endure I can't even begin to comprehend. I am so grateful for His Atonement on our behalf. ✨Glory be to our loving ✨Heavenly Father who blessed us with His only Begotten Son.❤
And ✨GLORY be to my Lord, and Savior, Jesus Christ!❤🌟💫 My Master, my Redeemer, The ONLY Savior of ALL Mankind🌎 The Prince of Peace🙏🏼 Lord of Lords and 👑King of Kings!👑💫🌟
Beautifully spoken, it helped me understand, why the Father "temporarily" withdr w his spirit. Thank you 😍
I love getting these daily!❤
April 2009 General Conference ❤
Jesus I want to thank you for your sacrifice so I may return to you and the Heavenly Father.
This talk helped me make sense of that moment on the cross.
Against all odds...he never hated those men for what they did...truly incredible. Surely this man was the son of God.
I am a member of the church but I drink coffee and tea I always love the videos on this Jesus truly is our way to salvation and I believe our God is righteous and loving THANKYOU Yeshua for everything you have done and everything you continue to do all glory to your name forever
If you so love HIM, you would gladly abide by his commandments. I'm not judging you, I'm reminding you that to gain a temple recommend to receive your endowments, you must keep the word of wisdom. A commandment by our Lord among other things such as tithing, taking Sacrament and regularly attending church on Sunday and keeping that day holy.
Just in case you forgot.
@@peajays8097 Actually your a hypocrite because I am already endowed and I identify as Christian I do not drink alcohol do tobacco or drugs or anything else and I have the most powerful testimony in my congregation the majority of my congregation only testifies of their car problems marriage problems and is extremely lukewarm the only two reasons why I attend church is to partake of sacrament and to make friends that are believers and my stake president and bishop’s told me me that it’s fine if I drink coffee or tea Look I am not going to hell for drinking coffee or tea and I have actually been to Heaven Hell Paradise and Hades and if you don’t repent of your nonsense you will be judged by Jesus and I spend an average of 49 minutes a day praying repenting and talking to the father and Jesus and also humans are not gods God the father is not an exalted human man he’s always been there existing and we do not procreate millions of babies in Heaven and we are not polygamist gods and Joseph smith is not to be worshipped and I mostly fast from food and I actually did a 40 day fast two years ago and I only trust Jesus and many people go to hell if they do not repent of their sins and do not forgive and love I love Jesus and I do not wear temple garments because I think their kinda ridiculous I wear underwear and a a bra and I actually dress pretty conservatively and I used to spend hours In worship reading 56 chapters of the Bible every single day and I have received many dreams and visions of judgement day the pre trib rapture the 7 year great tribulation period the mark of the beast the anti christ and I have received over 200 messages from Jesus so before you go judging me examine yourself and I do not believe that God the father has many wives or a wife we come from Adam and Eve and I believe Jesus is the way to salvation and repenting of our sins not abstaining from a drink that is not even alcohol or drugs
Jesus is our salvation not abstaining from milk or juice
I do not worship prophets or Joesph Smith I only worship Jesus and the father and I do not trust doctrines of men I do not drink alcohol do drugs or smoke or vape drinking coffee or tea or even herbal tea or coffee substitutes Is not necessarily the same as murder or adultery or blasphemy of
The Holy Spirit which is unforgivable okay ? I have asked Jesus and actually the majority of people that will be in Heaven will be believers but will not be LDS Jesus gave his life so we could be forgiven I do obey the word of wisdom since I do not drink alcohol do drugs or smoke tobacco I just think abstaining from coffee or tea is kind of silly I trust Jesus not earthly men invented doctrines
@@tessannmacallister5747you dont have to be a LDS to know that this harmful substances can destroy your physical body which body is a gjft from Jesus Christ. The Apostle Paul said it that, our body is a temple of God. You dont need to be a Lds to know this things. But because God does speak today through His authorized servants who held the priesthood, through revelation that this bad substances we must avoid and abstain from it.
In Jesus name amen.
Amin Amin Amin Yes
Amen ❤❤❤❤❤
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 JESUS CHRIST WE LOVE YOU GOD
My Jesus. The Savior of the world. The Messiah. The Holy One of Israel. The Lamb of God. The Redeemer. The First Fruits of the dead. The author, and finisher, of our faith. The beginning, and the end. The resurrected LORD.
Thank you.
Jesus Christ❤️🌹
Amen and God bless us always
I'm a sinner God please forgive me
No one is perfect; we all fall short. Our Heavenly Father loves you and will forgive you as many times as you choose to believe and repent. You can learn more about forgiveness here: www.comeuntochrist.org/site/beliefs/forgiveness#ForgiveYourself?cid=42001274
Time of god all day
Thank you so much for these beautiful videos and the focus on the greatest holiday of the year!

AMEN
A survivor of unspeakable abuse spoke of her experiences. She said there was a point in her life, when she was no longer in the hands of her abusers, that she was as far removed from God as one can be. She said that darkness and soullessness was worse than any of the abuse she endured. That didn’t make sense to me but out of everything Christ endured during The Atonement He cried out in despair when Heavenly Father withdrew His spirit. What a miracle Christ is.
Thank you!
FIRSTLY
Elder Holland knocks it out of the park every time. Copious thanks.
Not "against all odds". He wasn't going to fail. His righteousness is the surest guarantee there is. He will never let us down. Someday the sun will burn out, and it will not rise. But Jesus Christ remains our light forever.
I love your words about His righteousness being the surest guarantee and His being our light forever. Yes! I think by "against all odds" Elder Holland means that out of millions / billions of human lives and deaths, this had never, ever been done before - to live a perfect life and rise from the dead!
@@MamasBoys4 Thanks. I guess I don't see Jesus as a one in a million or once in a billion or once in trillion type of a hero. He is the Rock. He is different than the rest of us, especially in His reliability. He will not fail. The odds never stood a chance against Him. His path was impossibly hard, but His capacity is infinite.
Not bagging on Elder Holland. Just saw that one thought differently. Great video.
Happy holy week 😇🙏
Mí querido amigo! porqué caminar solos por éste mundo?... porqué volver a su iglesia?... porqué sí empezar nuevamente a caminar con el Salvador?.Yo sé con todo mí corazón,alma, mente y fuerzas que "ÉL VIVE" y si hace casi un año lo hice: "Hazlo".En el nombre de Jesucristo, amén.🇦🇷
Halleluiah Jisus
Hallelujah
💛...
And yet we complain about waiting in line at a STORE???
Or blow a gasket when our devices freeze up? Or even scold family members for things that won't even MATTER in 5 years...
But Jesus Christ suffered the ULTIMATE ridicule and death for a bunch of misfits (humans) who IGNORE Him and His commandments (which keep us safer)???
WOW!!!
I could never understand THAT kind of love, but am grateful for it
❤❤❤
Of 1 Corinthians 4,
"10 We are fools for Christ’s sake, but ye are wise in Christ; we are weak, but ye are strong; ye are honourable, but we are despised.
11 Even unto this present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain dwellingplace;
12 And labour, working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we suffer it:
13 Being defamed, we entreat: we are made as the filth of the world, and are the offscouring of all things unto this day."
May we all be wise to carry His radiance with us at all times, in all things, and in all places, public, and maybe even especially in private. 🙏
Amen🙏❤️🙏
I've pondered whether or not this moment of withdrawal of the Father allowed the Son to feel one final pain which he may not have felt before - the pain and fear of having failed in His mission; that the Father was not accepting His sacrifice. I could be wrong- I usually am.
God is Alpha and Omega.
😢😢😢😢😢😢
Which year was this? This is from one of my favorite General Conference addresses, but it's been a while since I went back and listened to/watched it.
It’s from April of ‘09, “None Were With Him.”
@@ashlysorenson9750 thanks!
:)
🧐🤔 Interesting that Historically the Easter Rabbit represents JESUS the East Star 🌟 of Bethlehem. That is the Jewish Rabbi of the ✝️ Crucifix
Go to the Catholic Church and repent
This was the first, last, and only time Jesus did not feel the Spirit. I imagine he must have felt like we would feel if we suddenly went blind and deaf.
Jesus was tempted.
I cannot imagine what He suffered so much for each and everything for us all God's children it makes me so sorrowful fo what He went through He is my Saviour and King thank you my Redeemer you went through that for me I am so sorry I contributed to your suffering ❤❤❤❤❤❤
❤❤❤
Hallelujah! Christ is Risen!
I testify that the Savior suffered all the pains, sorrows, sickness and afflictions of man, even the hopelessness of Spiritual death when He said "Abba, Abba, lama sabachthani" Father, Father why hast thou forsaken me? 😢❤❤❤ And He did it for us, to bring forth immortality and Redemption to mankind.
Praises and Glory be to the Lord always ❤
So awesome!!
My God, My Savior, My Salvation.
Love you Jesus , thank you for letting me become more christlike , to accept your teachings of being a better person each and every day, through accepting your sacrifice for me. Thank you.
Thank you!
Amen and amen
