Quote of the Day: Elder Jeffery R. Holland

Elder Jeffrey R. Holland of the Quorum of the Twelve wrote:

“The wounds in [the Lord’s] hands, feet, and side are signs that in mortality painful things happen even to the pure and the perfect, signs that tribulation is not evidence that God does not love us. It is a significant and hopeful fact that it is the wounded Christ who comes to our rescue. He who bears the scars of sacrifice, the lesions of love, the emblems of humility and forgiveness is the Captain of our Soul. That evidence of pain in mortality is undoubtedly intended to give courage to others who are also hurt and wounded by life, perhaps even in the house of their friends” ( Christ and the New Covenant: The Messianic Message of the Book of Mormon [1997], 259).
