He did this mainly in Gethsemane as Luke tells us that He "sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling to the ground". Many have been crucified but only the Savior submitted to this willingly, He prayed, "Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me; nevertheless not my will, but thine be done." (Luke 22: 42-44). The Father sent an angel to minister to Him, no human being could have endured all the sins and pain of all who have lived and died on this earth, only as He was the Son of God conceived of the Holy Ghost and born of Mary.
As this world is turning from the core values of Christianity and Christians are being persecuted because they are Christian, as has been prophesied, the parable of the wheat and tares is coming to pass. I pray more people will have earnest prayer, and turn from the world where necessary, to Jesus Christ. "If in this life only we have hope in Christ,we are of all men most miserable"."For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive". (1Cor 15:19, 22)
We as members are so blessed to have the restored Gospel of Jesus Christ, through His prophet Joseph Smith. Because of the truths from the Book of Mormon, we can know of the blessings of those who live a higher law as did all His prophets Holding to the iron rod, (the word of God) of Lehi's dream will keep us safe!
Through the Savior's grace and through our repentance, our sins can be forgiven and we can feel the, peace that He offers. I know by the power of the Holy Ghost that Christ does live and we can have hope in His glorious resurrection, and that He will come again in power and great glory!
