The privilege of being the
Sunday School President was to take the class whenever the assigned teacher was
not available to teach. My lesson focus today was on 2 Nephi 9 a discourse by
Jacob. I told Elaine about it and she gave me a very good idea on how to
describe the role of Jesus Christ and the Atonement. This is how I shared it in
the class...
Like all the super heroes in
the action movies, the hero would do great sacrificial things to save the
others. One example was Captain America when he was the scrawny guy who jumped
on the grenade. All heroes would do that in movies. Jesus Christ was a hero who
had done that for us. In this case, it was not just a grenade. It was a thermal
nuclear bomb that He had jumped on using His body to cover the
explosion shielding us from the full impact. All we experienced was just the
aftershock of our sins if we accepted His Atonement. Otherwise, we would have to suffer the
full impact of the explosion all by ourselves.
