Episode notes

First Nephi, 19, 9: The world because of their iniquity shall judge him to be a thing of not. Elder Niele Maxwell seemed to be fond of this verse and used it more than once. I love that when the Book of Mormon talks about the atonement, the word is often followed by which was prepared from the foundation of the world. And Jesus, he mentions it. As we said, he told the 12 this was going to happen. He set his face toward Jerusalem. Like, wow, they're courage and determination. That's always inspiring to me. Absolutely.

Why was Jesus willing to endure trials, suffering, and death for you? Professor John “Jack” Welch examines the final hours of Jesus Christ’s mortal ministry.
