In Latter-day Saint culture, we often focus on the Resurrection and triumph over death as the primary purpose of Christ's crucifixion. While this doctrine is important, could the emphasis solely on the triumph over death create a gap in our understanding of Christ's sacrifice? Consider this: what does the crucifixion of Jesus Christ reveal about God's character? What does Christ's physical suffering on the cross as the "The God of Friday" teach you about human suffering? And what can we learn about healing, mercy, empathy, and solidarity in pondering this sacred act?
