December 9, 2011 - Understanding suffering

[pam]

"Because Jesus Christ suffered greatly, He understands our suffering. He understands our grief. . . . Sometimes the very moments that seem to overcome us with suffering are those that will ultimately suffer us to overcome."

Joseph B. Wirthlin "Come What May, and Love It, Ensign," Nov. 2008, 27

As the Father and Jesus Christ knows us intimately, He didn't have to suffer greatly to understand our suffering and grief. But He volunteered to suffer anyway.
