Infinite Atonement - Trade of Unparalleled Dimension

Pg. 64 The Savior left a throne to inherit a manger. He exchanged the Dominion of a God for the dependence of a babe. He gave up wealth, power, dominion and the fullness of his glory - for what? - for taunting, mocking, humiliation and subjection. It was a trade of unparalleled dimension, a condescension of incredible proportions, a Descent of incalculable depth- and so, the great Jehovah, Creator of Worlds without number infinite, in virtue and Power, made his entry into this world in swaddling clothes and a Manger. 

JW.org Free Bible Study

There was this little card about free online Bible study from JW.org. And since it's been my goal to read the whole Old Testament I thought I'd also supplement it with this course. I'm just beginning it but also it asks some good questions.  Psalm 119:105 NUN. 105   Thy word  is  a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. To feel like we are literally light on our feet is a metaphorical expression of fitness and vigor. I also want to be spiritually fit, like Kent Tallman.  I was listening to the 3rd century of the restoration with Patrick Mason and him talking about how the members of our church are going to save the earth by being the salt of the earth. Just a pinch by getting lovingly involved with disciples everywhere, worldwide. 

The Complete Atonement: Infinite in Nature

 He can cover and expunge all and any sin, grief, heartache. He can power us through his love, knowledge and brilliance. Anything is possible through Christ. Anything & more. Christ "has all power, all wisdom, and all understanding; he comprehendeth all things" (Alma 26:35) Jacob: "There is not anything save he knows it." (2 Nephi 9:20). He has mastered each and every law. He is polylingual; there is no such thing as a foreign language to him. He knows the cure for every virus, every disease, and every ailment. He has created worlds without number. Nothing escapes his grasp. What does this mean for me? I don't have to worry. I can pray and be saved from my anxiety, emotions, relationships with the intent to change.
