Jesus Christ's Charitable Sacrifice

Jesus Christ divine compassion for each of us is a testament of his love and charity for us. Elder Ulisses Soares, a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles shares his testimony of Jesus Christ and His Divine Compassion for each of us.

Jesus triumphantly entered the Holy City riding upon a donkey, surrounded by a multitude of jubilant disciples who spread out their garments, palm leaves, and other foliage along the path where Jesus passed. They praised God, saying with a loud voice, “Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord. As His followers, we are His peculiar people, called to proclaim His virtues, promoters of the peace so generously offered through Him and His atoning sacrifice. As disciples of the Prince of Peace, we have been instructed to live with “hearts knit together in unity and in love, one towards another. The scriptures define this kind of love as charity. Think for a moment about what Jesus must have felt as He humbly washed His disciples’ feet, knowing that one of them would betray Him that very night. Or when Jesus, hours later, mercifully healed the ear of one of the men who had accompanied Judas, His betrayer, to arrest Him. Or even when the Savior, standing in front of Pilate, was unfairly accused by the chief priests and elders. Through these three tragic incidents, the Savior, despite being burdened with excessive sadness and stress, taught us by His example that “charity suffereth long, and is kind. One of the most evident signs that we are drawing closer to the Savior and becoming more like Him is the loving, patient, and kind way with which we treat our fellow beings, whatever the circumstances. May we today, spread out our robes of love and palm leaves of charity, walking in the footsteps of the Prince of Peace as we prepare to celebrate the miracle of the empty tomb. #BecauseOfHim
