"The
Lord has said concerning Jesus, that he descended below
all things that he might rise above all things, and
comprehend all things. No man descended lower than the
Savior of the world. Born in a stable, cradled in a
manger, he traveled from there to the cross through
suffering, mingled with blood, to a throne of grace; and
in all his life there was nothing of an earthly nature
that seemed to be worth possessing. His whole life was
passed in poverty, suffering, pain, affliction, labor,
prayer, mourning and sorrow, until he gave up the ghost
on the cross. Still he was God's firstborn son and the
Redeemer of the world." Journal of Discourses, Vol.18, p.33, June 27, 1875 |
