Christ's mission

It is very late & the internet is slow. It's a good thing the quotes are short tonight. Even so,

"The things of God are of deep import; and time, and experience, and careful and ponderous and solemn thoughts can only find them out."

--Joseph Smith, Liberty, MO, March 25, 1839, History of the Church, 3:295

 and ...

"Christ was sent not only to help us heal the wounds of transgression and iniquity, but also to bear our grief and sorrow and guilt."

--The New Era, December 1988, pages 4-7.
