Holy Week Study with an Apostle of Christ

I just discovered this yesterday. It’s a study of the scriptures outlining Holy Week with Elder Jeffrey R. Holland, one of the current apostles of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Here is the YouTube summary of the video:

“Jesus Christ ascended the hill of Calvary carrying more than a cross—He bore the weight of every sorrow, every sin, and every soul. Mocked, wounded, and seemingly forsaken, the Savior of the world offered a gift beyond all comprehension. His Atonement remains the ultimate expression of divine love. Even in His final moments, Jesus Christ bore a powerful witness. And as the earth trembled and darkness fell, a Roman centurion—standing at the foot of the cross— gave one of the clearest declarations of divinity ever spoken: “Truly this was the Son of God.” That sacred truth continues to be declared today—by apostles, disciples, and the quiet voice of the Spirit to all who seek Him. In this Easter reflection, President Jeffrey R. Holland of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles shares his personal witness of the Savior’s final hours and affirms the reality of His divine mission. He lives. He is the Christ. He is the Redeemer of the world. #GreaterLove“

I love a comment from one of the commenters of the video in YouTube: “Let us remember that not only does He love us at our lowest, He loved us at His lowest.” It’s so amazing! Let us praise Him forever and forever and glory in our Jesus!

See the Book of Mormon Another Testament of Jesus Christ, in 2 Nephi 33:6, where Nephi declares with power, “I glory in plainness; I glory in truth; I glory in my Jesus, for he hath redeemed my soul from hell.”
