Alma 7:11-13, "And he shall go forth, suffering pains and afflictions and temptations of every kind; and this that the word might be fulfilled which saith he will take upon him the pains and the sicknesses of his people.
"And he will take upon him death, that he may loose the bands of death which bind his people; and he will take upon him their infirmities, that his bowels may be filled with mercy, according to the flesh, that he may know according to the flesh how to succor his people according to their infirmities.
"Now the Spirit knoweth all things; nevertheless the Son of God suffereth according to the flesh that he might take upon him the sins of his people, that he might blot out their transgressions according to the power of his deliverance; and now behold, this is the testimony which is in me."

I love looking up definitions because it really makes the scripture take on a whole new meaning and personalizes it for me.
I love Elder Holland and the way he speaks and bears His testimony.
Blessing- I'm thankful for the selfless service and sacrifice of the Atonement that my Savior performed for me because He knew I couldn't make it back to my Heavenly Father alone.
