Summary

April 11-17

Elder Bruce C. Hafen, former member of the Seventy and an author, joins Scot and Maurine Proctor today to look more deeply and understand with greater clarity the magnificence and personal nature of the Savior’s atonement. He helps us see how the atonement is not just for sinners, but for the range of human weakness, miscalculation, negligence and error that humanity in a fallen world are liable to. He teaches us what the place of grace is in our lives and how the Savior’s sacrifice can help us see our weaknesses and be transformed through Him. Daily repentance can become a daily refreshment.

Elder Hafen is the author of The Broken Heart; Faith is Not Blind, any many other significant books.

Garden. It was dark and gradually a hush and then silence fell over our

world where we worked alone because it was dark. These photographs took

0:53.6

several minutes, and we worked alone on that mount for nearly three hours, hoping

to capture a stunning photograph. As we worked, our thoughts were so sweet and

reverent, and we remembered well what Elder Jeffrey or Holland had

1:09.7

described as the Saviour's Atonement. He said, we celebrate the gift of victory

1:15.1

over every fall we've ever experienced. Every sorrow we have ever known, every

1:20.9

discouragement we have ever had, every fear we have ever faced, to say nothing of

1:26.7

our resurrection from death and forgiveness of our sins. What a moment we'll never

1:32.0

forget. As we consider the Saviour's Atonement today, we have invited Elder

1:38.6

Bruce C. Haifan to join us, whose book, The Broken Heart, Applying the Atonement

1:44.5

to Life's Experiences and Covenant Hearts, has helped so many understand the

1:49.6

Atonement more thoroughly, and we especially have loved this book over the years.
