The Divine Mission of Jesus Christ:  Advocate

Jesus Christ is our Advocate with the Father.  the word advocate has Latin Roots meaning "one who pleads for another."  The Savior pleads for us, using understanding, justice, and mercy.  Knowing this can fill us with love and gratitude for His Atonement.

"Listen to Jesus Christ who is the advocate with the Father, who is pleading your cause before him - "Saying; Father, behold the sufferings and death of him who did no sin, in whom thou wast well pleased; behold the blood of thy Son which was shed, the blood of him whom thou gavest that thyself might be glorified;

"Wherefore, Father, spare these by brethren that believe on my name, that they may come unto me and have everlasting life" (D&C 45:3-5)
