I totally agree with your “while”.
I have long believed that while the Savior suffered for us, it was not that He saw our sins that we would commit, even though that is what each drop of blood was for. I have believed that He did see each of our faces and knew why-or for whom- He was suffering. It is His deep love for each one of us that gave Him the strength and will and desire to stay and suffer for us.
He truly loves us perfectly and is there to walk with us as we make our journey back home.
I listened to this video yesterday and have been pondering it. I just read these verses in Ether 12
11 Wherefore, by faith was the law of Moses given. But in the gift of his Son hath God prepared a more excellent way; and it is by faith that it hath been fulfilled.
12 For if there be no faith among the children of men God can do no miracle among them; wherefore, he showed not himself until after their faith.
Our faith in Christ makes us his children, and the miracle of the atonement was fulfilled by faith, both ours and Christ’s. Therefore, your supposition of our role in Christ’s atonement is making more sense to me. Thank you for stimulating my thoughts on this important subject.
When I was pregnant with my 29 yr. Old son, a cyst grew to the size of a soccer ball in my ovary that had to be removed. The surgery was in my 20th week of gestation. At a later time after my child was born I had another abdominal surgery by another surgeon who knew my history. He explored the healing that had taken place and reported to me in amazement that there was no scarring or evidence that I ever had that surgery…except of course with exception of the missing ovary. Otherwise, I was so perfectly healed there was no evidence. At the time I thought, well, my body is in grow mode…so it healed better. I love knowing now that it was my son who actually helped heal me. Beautiful.
It’s the stem cells the baby is making that heals to that degree. Regular healing leaves a scar
So beautiful 🥰
Brother Dunford, thank you for your great message and profounds insights. I love listening to your powerful lessons. God bless you.
Holy moly!! Brother Dunford Thank you!!!❤❤❤❤ you’ve done it again! I was feeling extremely low and alone and I thought to myself… The voice of brother Dunford always makes you feel better while you drive to work so turn him on! And today you blew my mind! Thank you thank you for sharing your knowledge of microbiology and opening up a New World of Understanding to this great creation from our Father and his Son! Bless you!
Thank you! I was filled with the Spirit listening , especially the end about Him seeing us and us playing a part in His healing. I could feel that you truly are a witness!❤ I will be forever grateful to my Savior!!!
Thank you so very much Bryce as a new convert of a year you have given me so much insight into the gospel 🙏 ❤
🎉congratulations on your 1st year in. May you have many more ahead.
This was amazing. Recently I was pondering the Savior's atonement and in my mind I saw Him on the cross and I saw His blood but as I pondered more, it was something in his blood cells and I felt like there was something about or in His blood cells that was connected to me and in a very real way was healing me but I didn't know how until you explained it and it made so much sense. You helped me realize why I kept seeing his blood and what the significance of that was. Thank you Bro. Bryce for sharing your knowledge and insights with us!
You are a gifted teacher.
I agree. He truly is a gifted teacher.
Wow, this is amazing. The way you describe the imagery of our Savior being like our moms giving birth to us and we heal our moms are mom‘s hair loss we heal our savior, our savior Heals us powerful beautiful imagery. Thank you so much.
Beautiful lesson and testimony! Thank you so much. I love listening to you teach. It enriches my testimony and understanding of the Savior.
Thank you so much!
I learned a lot from this. My first real earnest care about the atonement was from when I was 14 when I listened to W Cleon Skousen’s “why the atonement was necessary” and how Heavenly Father’s power was due to his being honored by all intelligences in the Universe! A really great talk. Thank you for your own presentation that reminds me about that! His Honor is his Power. He is universally honored and the demands of justice were met by Christ's atonement through the mercy of the intelligences that honor his sacrifice for us. He paid to ransom each of us!
Brother Dunford, I thank you, sincerely, for your continuing efforts. You (and Mike on the podcast) have given my wife and I so much strength and useful insight as we continue on our covenant path. The path is easier because of you. So again, thank you. ❤️
Another fantastic video! Thank you Bryce!!!
Im excited about these presentations Bryce...thank you.
Bless you, Brother Dunford, this is exactly what all of us need. Please keep up the amazing work, we are so grateful for you!
You are my favourite teacher Bryce. Thank you so much for your very interesting and important videos 🖖 love from UK
Wow Christ's atonement being a parallel to a mother giving birth!!! That is so profound!
I appreciate you so much. Thank you for all the effort you make which blesses my life, specifically.
What a wonderful presentation. I am so grateful for all of the wisdom, teaching and help you give us. Thank you for sharing your time and talents so freely.
Love how you analize each subject and how you teach and share you really help me understand in deep on ech of you videos I allways want to learn more from you.
Thanks Brother Bryce! From Cancún Mex.
Thank you, Bryce! This is beautiful! I look forward to studying with you!❤
Hey it's Phyllis!!
Thank you Bro Dunford... I was so excited when I saw this pop up in my feed... an early Christmas present :-) 2 thoughts as I have started to study the Atonment more deeply... 1 Pres Nelsons conference talk really changed me... I am so use to focusing on all of the big negative parts of the second coming and the Atonement but the real majesty is the joy and connection of love... #2 studying and trying to understand the Atonement reminds me of trying to understand love... there is so much to it and we only get just a sliver of it in mortality... Godly love is such a part of the Atonment... the better we can understand Godly love the more we understand the Atonment... many blessings Bro Dunford and looking forward to the next installment
Wow, Brother Dunford. My mind is blown. Thank you for teaching me this.
This was fascinating. Thank you for your insight.
This was so beautiful and so needed right now. Thank you Brother Bryce for all you do. You have helped me strengthen my relationship with my Savior. ❤
Thank you so much for the insightful explanation of the atonement. We recently lost our daughter to an aggressive cancer and I needed this. I have listened three times now and find it so very comforting.
Sending love.
Thank you so much for this. I felt the connection that we have with our Saviour. It has always been there, but now I understand why. We must have been praying for him during all this time. We can be one with him. It is our choice by being baptised and staying true to out temple covenants and enduring to the end
that I was there with the Savior in Gethsemane, healing Him while he was healing me, for the joy set before Him, is more humbling than I can say. thank you
Thank you for this beautiful new awareness of how totally connected we are to the savior. I never knew about that phenomenon of babies healing mothers while they carry them. And isn’t it interesting that when we go through the veil in the temple, the Lord‘s hand comes through the navel mark? That’s another example of mortal birth being a divine type of Christ’s atonement.
Very edifying! Thank You 🙏🏻
So spiritual and you make it easier for the listener to picture what the Savior went through by comparing His Atonement to childbirth 😊😊
Thank you for the enlightenment you offered me. I love the knowledge of our intimate relationship with our Savior.
You are kind! But I could not repay you with a million enlightened videos for the blessings that your daughter has brought into my life.
Thank you for this great teaching. 🥰To learn that the cells of the baby and the mother are "interconnected" made me realize that abortion is a much more serious matter than we may be aware. I mean women who claim access to free abortion because their body belong to them are not aware that abortion will in a certain way harm their own body too. I can see again that following the laws of God is much more than a simple obedience, it is a matter of life saving. I like the way you compare the Christ giving birth to each one of us. I understand better the "graving on His Hands" and the fact we are interconnected, Him and each one of us. Thank you for the time you take and the means you share freely to teach us. 🥰
Thank you so much for your time spend to prepare this lesson. I'm looking forward to the next one.
TY. It is easy when going thru a personal challenge to think that you are alone & on your own.
Your witness helps strengthen my faith that we are never alone. I love the book, “The Infinite Atonement” by Tad Callister. In addition, it is in quiet pondering moments, like standing alone outside a baptismal font or in Sacrament meeting when I have felt Jesus Christ. Thinking He is there more than I recognize. Thanks again. You are in my pile up of fav people!
Thank you, Brother D. Your testimony is powerful and my wife and I are always inspired by your teachings of the gospel and our Savior, Jesus Christ. Both you and Mike help us strengthen our testimonies and keep reaching for eternal truths to return to Him with honor.
So beautiful!!! Yes, I have always believed this in my heart and soul. He is a one on one God. He knows us better than we know ourselves because He saw us while He suffered for us and I also believe He remembered knowing us and raising us as spirit children in the pre mortal existence. And His deep love for us is what got Him through the suffering. No words can express the emotions I feel from knowing this. All I know is I want to serve and worship Him for eternity!!!❤️❤️❤️ This video made me weep. Thank you!!
You presented some concepts that I have never heard, or thought of before. Thank you so very much, it gives me much to ponder.
Powerful lesson - thank you for your inspired insights! 🙏
Thank you, Bro Bryce. I have recently begun to ponder our chimeric relationship to God & this expanded my thoughts. I too have begun anew a weekly study of the Atonement of Jesus Christ - i appreciation your thoughts and efforts in this
Bryce, I love this. I’m going to rewatch this again and again. Thank you.
Thank you. Perfect. I am in.
Sublime message. Look forward to continuing this study of the Atonement with you. Thank you ❤
Thank you this was a beautiful message regarding the Atonement
Very powerful message! Thank you❤
Wow Wow Wow WOW!!!! I've never made that type of connection between mother/child and Christ/me.... Using your Degree has helped me see and appreciate the Lord even more. Thank you!!!
Thank you thank you!! This is just what we all need!❤
Thank you, Bro Dunford, for reminding me about Pres Nelson's call to study the Atonement. I look forward to hearing more from you - it keeps me on track.
This is absolutely WONDERFUL! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for all of your time & effort to share your insights, inspiration & testimony with us to help us in our study.
You are an inspiring teacher. Such insight. Thank you!
Listening again!!! haha Too good!
Beautiful!!!
Thank you so much. I have been wanting to start studying the atonement and have put it off so this is great!
Beautiful! Thank you for your testimony and insight about our Saviour
Fantastic!
Thank you so much Brother Dunford for teaching this series on Christ’s Atonement. I have listened to and learned from every one of your series of videos, some multiple times . ❤
Thank you I too want to follow the prophet and study the Atonement. This was beautiful.
I love every one of your videos! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and testimony. I learn so much from you.
Beautiful insight tome as a mother of 4. Thank you. May God bless you and 🙏your family
I’m not a smart person who can understand a lot when I hear talks it takes a lot to understand. You HELP so much! Thank you
I love your comments about the Savior and His Atonement. I especially loved what you said about mother snd child and the cells of the child. How precious! The Lord is truly the only one in the universe to accomplish this great act of love. How amazing that we would help Him by seeing us. How great the wonder and the love. Thank you for your beautiful thoughts about our precious Lord and Redeemer. There is nobody like Him.
Thank you so much for doing this for and with us! Please continue to help us study these precious Truths! This has helped me open my eyes and mind even more. Thank you for your time!
Brother Bryce, thanks for this discussion! And hearkening to the invitation from President Nelson! I have made a similar goal to study the Atonement once a week.
I've been on Neal A Maxwell feeding frenzy lately, also reading everything i can get my hands on from him. I've noticed Elder Bednar had done so in recent years as well by his topics of choice.
He once said that the awful arithmetic of the Atonement of Christ is enormity multiplied by infinity. So there really can be no end to our study of His Atonement
Thank you so much for sharing this powerful message! 🙏🏼
We have to believe that Jesus paid for our sins by taking them upon himself. My Muslim friends believe he was taken up to heaven alive and that the man on the cross was made to look like Jesus. Even though they believe in the person it's not enough to remove sins. Thank you for explaining our connection to our saviour. Your testimony is awesome ❤️
Thank you for helping me get more out of Pres. Nelson’s admonition. This is very helpful. Thanks again.
The Atonement of Christ, and the birthing experience of women, are similitudes of each other. Without woman's sacrifice, by shedding their blood, their water, and nurturing our body and spirit in the womb, and because they would often give their life in the early years, we are brought into this world. Our first birth. We are born again through the Atonement of Christ, through his blood in genthsemane, his water when pierced by the spear, and through giving up his spirit, tot hen be resurrected. We are also born again through baptism (like in the womb, we are submersed in water, and come forth out again), and we receive the Holy SPirit and the baptism of fire. It is all connected. There is defiitely a symbiotic relationship between baby and mother.
My mom and I were literally just talking about this concept about mothers and children sharing cells and DNA... wow not a coincidence!!!
I am a Witness of Jesus Christ in our lives I know he lives. I want to be like him.❤
I am in the medical field and I never heard that about chimeras. Thank you.
Brother Dunford! I was shocked to hear your voice on TH-cam and be transported back to the 90's KJH seminary! Jana Hone was my name then! Thanks for your teaching then and now!
I remember you Jana. Those were good days. So happy we could connect again.
Excellent talk I have listened to about the relationship between women and Jesus Christ. and the Atonement. THANK YOU so much . LOVED it!!
Absolutely fascinating… I have been pondering the “science” or better yet “the enabling power” of the Atonement. I’m am grateful to have had my mind and heart expanded in this essential doctrine!
Bryce, you answered my prayer by starting this series regarding our savior's atonement!! How grateful we ARE!🙏🏻☺️🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thank you for sharing your insights about the Saviour’s Atonement.. loved it..GB🙏…
Thank you.
Oh Happy Day ❤️ I ❤ Jesus Christ my Master
A thought: Every time one is anointed with oil by the power of the Priesthood in the name of the Lord, it is symbolic of applying the Atonement to them. Think healing blessings and the initiatory. Oil represents Gethsemane, of course.
I had these exact thoughts while I was on my mission. These are some amazing connections. ❤
Thank you Brother Dunford!
Soo good!!
This was wonderful! Thank you!
This scientific fact has given me peace as I lost a 40 week baby stillbirth on her due date
My sister had the exact same situation with her 40 week son on his due date. So hard. So sweet to have a relationship with our Savior who loves, understands and upholds us.
I'm so sorry you experienced such sorrow. My heart goes out to you both.
Our prayers are with you❤
My co workers wife had the same thing with Twin Girls. She woke up and just knew. I can’t image how hard this would be.
Thank you so much!
I had a spiritual experience
It is my belief that when the Savior was suffering in the Garden, each of us we’re able to can and be with Him, we were the angel that came and comforted Him
Time is different in Heaven -
It makes sense to me that we would be allowed to play a part of the suffering
Thank you. I look forward to the feasts you will prepare for us. Know what you mean about studying better when preparing to present. Just released as Gospel Doctrine teacher and keenly feeling that difference. I think it involves stewardship-a mantle lifted.
Thank you!
Wow! What beautiful insights! Thank you for sharing your thoughts and reminding us how powerful it is to study the atonement.
This is an incredible episode! As a woman and a mother it gave me incredible insight. I’m sharing with this everyone!
I am so glad I found you! I've been looking for resources to use on my own study of the Atonement of Christ. So glad you're here!
Спасибо большое ❤🙏
This was so thought provoking and powerful. Thank you!
Beautiful symbolism
Amazing! Thank you Bryce, I will be recommending you to my Gospel Doctrine class
❤ thank you so much
This is great. Next time my mom gets angry and pulls the “I gave birth to you” card, now I got a comeback haha. Honestly Bryce your insights are amazing. Thank you for sharing your talents
Thank you, thank you!!!!!!
By far my favorite video you've done
I love the relating of the Atonement to maternal/ foetal microchimerism. I found it fascinating. Thank you Bryce. I enjoy your videos. Looking forward to #2.
Profoundly beautiful! Thank you!
I can’t wait to study the Atonement of Jesus Christ this year! ❤
