Testimonies of the Father and the Son

May I share with you my love for the Savior and for His great atoning sacrifice for us. … I believe that none of us can conceive the full import of what Christ did for us in Gethsemane, but I am grateful every day of my life for His atoning sacrifice in our behalf.

At the last moment, He could have turned back. But He did not. He passed beneath all things that He might save all things. In doing so, He gave us life beyond this mortal existence. …

To the depths of my very soul, I am grateful to Him. He taught us how to live. He taught us how to die. He secured our salvation.

President Thomas S. Monson

Through love the Savior was obedient to the will of the Father under any circumstance. Our Savior was obedient even when it meant great physical and emotional pain, even when it meant being whipped and mocked; even when it meant that His enemies would torture Him while His friends abandoned Him. … "The chastisement of our peace was upon Him; and with his stripes we are healed" so that we may reach our full divine potential [Isaiah 53:5]. … His tender mercies can make us mighty as we follow Him under any circumstance.

Elder Walter F. González of the Seventy

I testify that God is our Father. Jesus is the Christ. His Church has been restored to the earth. His truth, covenants, and ordinances enable us to overcome fear and face the future with faith!

Elder Russell M. Nelson of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles

The Savior is not a silent observer. He Himself knows personally and infinitely the pain we face. … During His mortal life Christ chose to experience pains and afflictions in order to understand us. Perhaps we also need to experience the depths of mortality in order to understand Him and our eternal purposes.

Elder Kent F. Richards of the Seventy

Not only did our Savior love all; He served all.

Mary N. Cook, first counselor in the Young Women general presidency

Through His Atonement, He heals not only the transgressor, but He also heals the innocent who suffer because of those transgressions. As the innocent exercise faith in the Savior and in His Atonement and forgive the transgressor, they too can be healed. … Through His atoning sacrifice, our sins are remitted.

Elder C. Scott Grow of the Seventy

I'm so grateful for this conference. I received answers for questions I had in my heart. I know that our Heavenly Father knows all things and knows our hearts. He loves us and always answers our questions. I know that my Redeemer lives. My testimony is stronger after these last two days. It is an honor to watch those "mortal angels" speak to us and to our hearts and souls through the Holy Ghost.
