The Atonement of Jesus Christ is and should be
at the very center of all we teach. Everything else is
peripheral. Everything else is either connected to
this central, saving truth or it has no power to bless
or change us. It is vital that we understand that
through this singular act by our loving Lord, we can
be reawakened, redeemed, reclaimed, and restored
when we fall short or wander off the gospel path.
At the same time, we must recognize that although
the Lord s Atonement is at the heart of God s plan,
we cannot and should not attribute everything good
that happens in our lives to that Atonement. Both
the first and third members of the Godhead have a
myriad of ways in which They too bless the children
of our Father in Heaven.
In The Atoning One, acclaimed author and experienced
educator Robert L. Millet describes the mystery
and majesty of who Jesus Christ is His singular
saving role in the plan of salvation how the Father
and the Holy Ghost are inextricably linked with
Christ in the redemption of humankind, and how
members of the Church can come to comprehend
and rely on divine grace. As Brother Millet teaches,
we rejoice in the fact that Latter,day Saints are now
more Christ,centered and Atonement,centered than
ever before, but we must ensure that how we talk
about and approach our Savior s offering is done
with care. This book on provides insightful
guidance for deepening your understanding and appreciation
of the Savior s ultimate gift.
