The balance of mercy and justice concerning Christ’s atonement has always been an important subject of interest to me. I have found that many do not seem to understand the depth of this most significant subject.
While I was serving as Stake President in Boulder, Colorado, we asked the Lord to guide the High Council in choosing twelve topics that the saints needed to hear over the year. We then assigned members of the council to prepare research material on each of the chosen topics that would bless the lives of the congregations they served.
When it came to my turn, I prepared a presentation on the balance of Mercy and Justice of the perfect infinite atonement—showing the grandeur of the Lord’s flawless plan of Happiness. It was received well by the members.
When the Church was studying the Doctrine and Covenants in 2021, I suggested to my good friend Rod Meldrum that I share the atonement balance visually by way of a podcast in conjunction with Section 88. It went really well, also.
Dr. David R. Hocking
I have been intrigued by David R. Hocking’s seventh book in his series of annotated editions of sacred scriptures. Recently, I have offered to help him with his new book on the Journal of Joseph Smith. I believe this edition is going to be the best one ever. I have given him several suggestions in my enthusiasm for what he is doing, and he has included several of my recommendations.
I called David the other morning impressed that the previous podcast with Rod Meldrum would complement his Doctrine and Covenants Section 88 subject. I was pleased he included the YouTube link along with a URL Code in his new book.
I hope you will take the time to watch the video to better understand the balance of mercy and justice concerning Christ’s perfect and infinite atonement.
