Is. 53:10-12
“
I
t pleased the Lord to bruise him. When he shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed…For he shall bear their iniquities….He bare the sin of many and made intercession for the transgressors.”

Isaiah prophesied Jesus’ deathSlide3
What phrases in Matthew 26:36–39 describe how Jesus felt as He entered Gethsemane?Slide4
Gethsemane comes from the Hebrew words
g
eth
[gath], meaning “press,” and semane [shemen], meaning “oil”. Gethsemane therefore means “oil press.” The garden of Gethsemane was a grove of olive trees where the Savior was “pressed” in that garden by the weight of the sins of all mankind until His blood flowed from His skin. Definition of

To
produce olive oil,
olives
had to be crushed in a press. The olives were placed in burlap bags and flattened by a stone...Slide8
Then
a huge crushing circular rock was rolled around on top, paced by a mule or an
ox…Slide9

Another
method used heavy wooden levers or
screws twisting beams downward like a winch upon the stone. The effect was the same: pressure, pressure, pressure—until the oil flowed. Slide10

first liquid to appear is red, followed by the grey-green olive oil we are used to seeing.

14:32–34 Alma 7:11–13How might knowing what the Savior suffered and why He suffered help you as you face trials, pains, and afflictions?When have you felt the Savior succor you in a time of pain, sickness, or sorrow? What principle can we learn from the Savior’s instructions to these Apostles?Slide14
Elder
Neal A.
Maxwell: “‘
In Gethsemane, the suffering Jesus began to be “sore amazed” (Mark 14:33), or, in the Greek, “awestruck” and “astonished.”“‘Imagine, Jehovah, the Creator of this and other worlds, “astonished”! … He had never personally known the exquisite and exacting process of an atonement before. Thus, when the agony came in its fulness, it was so much, much worse than even He with his unique intellect had ever imagined! …“‘The cumulative weight of all mortal sins—past, present, and future—pressed upon that perfect, sinless, and sensitive Soul! All our infirmities and sicknesses were somehow, too, a part of the awful arithmetic of the Atonement.
(See Alma 7:11–12
; Isa. 53:3–5; Matt. 8:17

He knows what it felt like when your mother died of cancer--how it was for your mother, how it still is for you.
He knows what it felt like to lose the student body election. He knows that moment when the brakes locked and the car started to skid.
He experienced the slave ship sailing from Ghana toward Virginia. He experienced the gas chambers at Dachau. He experienced napalm in Vietnam. Slide18
It's our faith that he experienced everything--absolutely everything. Sometimes we don't think through the implications of that belief. We talk in great generalities about the sins of all humankind, about the suffering of the entire human family. But we don't experience pain in generalities. We experience it individually.Slide19
He understands your mother-pain when your five-year-old leaves for kindergarten, when a bully picks on your fifth-grader, when your daughter calls to say that the new baby has Down syndrome.
He knows your mother-rage when a trusted babysitter sexually abuses your two-year-old, when someone gives your thirteen-year-old drugs, when someone seduces your seventeen-year-old.
He knows all that. He's been there. He's been lower than all that. Slide20
He's not waiting for us to be perfect. Perfect people don't need a Savior. He came to save his people in their imperfections. He is the Lord of the living, and the living make mistakes.
He's not embarrassed by us, angry at us, or shocked. He wants us in our brokenness, in our unhappiness, in our guilt and our grief.
We know that this world is a dark place sometimes, but we need not walk in darkness. (Chieko N. Okazaki, Lighten Up, Preface; p. 174)Slide21Slide22Slide23Slide24Slide25

Elder David A.
Bednar
of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles told of an experience in which he visited with a young, newlywed couple in the hospital. The husband was suffering from cancer, and at the conclusion of the visit, he asked Elder
Bednar for a blessing. Elder Bednar consented but first posed the following questions, which he had not planned on asking nor had considered previously:“Do you have the faith not to be healed? If it is the will of our Heavenly Father that you are transferred by death in your youth to the spirit world to continue your ministry, do you have the faith to submit to His will and not be healed?”Elder Bednar added:“We recognized a principle that applies to every devoted disciple: strong faith in the Savior is submissively accepting of His will and timing in our lives—even if the outcome is not what we hoped for or wanted”

But if Not…
“Our scriptures and our history are replete with accounts of God’s great men and women who believed that He would deliver them,
but if not,
they demonstrated that they would trust and be true.“Our God will deliver us from ridicule and persecution, but if not. … Our God will deliver us from sickness and disease, but if not. …
He will deliver us from loneliness, depression, or fear,
but if not. … Our God will deliver us from threats, accusations, and insecurity,
but if not. …
He
will deliver us from death or impairment of loved ones,
but if
not…
We
will trust in the Lord.
“
We
will have faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, knowing that if we do all we can do, we will, in His time and in His way, be delivered and receive all that He has

“For many years I thought of the Savior’s experience in the garden and on the cross as places where a large mass of sin was heaped upon Him. Through the words of prophets, however, my view has changed. The Atonement was an intimate, personal experience in which Jesus came to know how to help each of us individually…

He knows our weaknesses. But more than
that, He knows how to help us if we come to Him in faith.”Merrill J. Bateman“A Pattern for All”Ensign, October 2005The AtonementSlide31
