The atonement is the greatest gift given to mankind from the creation and throughout all eternity. In my quest to better understand the atonement, I will post daily insights from LDS standard works and other LDS materials.

Day 37- Atonement Insight
John 15:13-14 "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you." The greatest act of love is the atonement of Jesus Christ. There is no man who performed a greater sacrifice for His friends. We are His friends if we do what he commands and hearken also to the voice of the prophet. D&C 1: 38 states, "my word shall not pass away, but shall all be fulfilled, whether by mine own voice or by the voice of my servants, it is the same." Servants is referring to the prophets and apostles, and their voice is aligned with the Lord's will. As I was listening in Sunday School today, I was contemplating the special witness of the prophets and apostles. I concluded that prophets and apostles may be a special witness because they have seen Jesus Christ. Then, I felt an overwhelming desire to follow their counsel with exactness.
