Emotional Control and Christ

How did Christ keep control with so much going on around him – physically and Emotionally? This level of Control is normally not found in mankind, so how did Christ do this? I’m not fully sure…

What I am sure of is his control and dependence upon God the Father and the Holy Ghost…

Christ suffered as we suffer and even more, but he was vary close to the Father – in ways we can not clearly tell he was using the Holy Ghost too… because the Holy Ghost and it’s gift was not given to the Apostles until after Christ was Resurrected and the days of Pentecost were come…

This tells me we need the Godhead more then we understand – especially the Gift of the Holy Ghost…

This emotional control is no easy thing to practice and do…

Peace is just part of this – when we are trials and other emotional challenges…

Peace – as an example…

Jesus Christ suffered a great deal – in the Garden, in judgment,  Whipping and abusing betrayal – on the Cross, and more than man can suffer…  Yet the Father Loved him!  This is hard for men to comprehend – or appreciate… 

Joseph’s time in Liberty Jail demonstrates that adversity is not evidence of the Lord’s disfavor nor a withdrawal of His blessings.

I was deeply moved as I read what the Prophet Joseph Smith declared as he was confined in Liberty Jail: “O God, where art thou? And where is the pavilion that covereth thy hiding place?”² Joseph inquired how long the Lord’s people would “suffer these wrongs and unlawful oppressions.”³

As I stood in Liberty Jail, I was deeply touched as I read the Lord’s answer: “My son, peace be unto thy soul; thine adversity and thine afflictions shall be but a small moment; and then, if thou endure it well, God shall exalt thee on high.”⁴ It is clear that opposition can refine us for an eternal, celestial destiny.⁵

The Savior’s precious words “My son, peace be unto thy soul”⁶ resonate with me personally and have great significance for our day. They remind me of His teachings to His disciples during His mortal ministry.

Prior to Christ’s suffering in the Garden of Gethsemane and on the cross, He commanded His Apostles to “love one another; as I have loved you”⁷ and subsequently comforted them with these words: “Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.”⁸.
