“You and I in a moment of weakness may cry out, ‘No one understands. No one knows,’” writes Elder David A. Bednar of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles. “No human being, perhaps, knows. But the Son of God perfectly knows and understands, for He felt and bore our burdens before we ever did. And because He paid the ultimate price and bore that burden, He has perfect empathy and can extend to us His arm of mercy in so many phases of our life. He can reach out, touch, succor—literally run to us—and strengthen us.” See “The Atonement and the Journey of Mortality,” page 40.
