I find great comfort and hope in this quote by Boyd K Packer:
“Repentance is the supreme manifestation of God’s mercy and generosity. Our spirits are damaged when we make mistakes and commit sins. But unlike the case with our mortal bodies, when the repentance process is complete, no scars remain because of the Atonement of Jesus Christ.”
Ironically, the Savior chose to keep His scars. Or are they His scars at all? I think perhaps they are mine.
As we celebrate this Easter morning, I am grateful for the price that was paid for me, the blood that was shed, the anguish in Gethsemane over my sins, and the hope of a glorious resurrection made possible by the Lamb of God. How merciful and kind for One so holy and pure to take my mistakes, iniquities and illnesses upon Himself so that I may walk away clean and scar free.
