The Very Thought of Thee (The Messiah), by Elpeth Young
“In speaking of the Savior’s Atonement, President Russell M. Nelson said:
“‘As in all things, Jesus Christ is our ultimate exemplar, “who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross” [Hebrews 12:2]. Think of that! In order for Him to endure the most excruciating experience ever endured on earth, our Savior focused on joy!’ …
“Similarly, the joy ‘set before us’ is the joy of assisting the Savior in His work of redemption.”
Elder D. Todd Christofferson of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, “The Joy of the Saints,” 17.
