This week we are studying Doctrine and Covenants section 19. This section is a direct revelation from Joseph Smith to Martin Harris. Although the counsel was specifically for Martin, there are many truths which can help us as well. We’ll talk about some of the characteristics of the Savior which enabled Him to complete His Atonement, including having a good understanding of identity and purpose, in addition to being persistent. We’ll also talk about how as we develop these character traits in our lives, we’ll be better equipped to deal with our own trials.
