Emerging Godhood & Appointed Missions
Friday, July 27th, 2007 by NaiahI have been reading The Infinite Atonement, by Tad R. Callister, and I came accross a passage so sublime, which has left me with much to ponder, that I have felt inspired to share it here. From page 65, referring to the Savior:
One wonders about his emerging godhood, as he grew from infancy to boyhood, and boyhood to manhood. What were his feelings? What was it like to be a god among mortals? With whom did he discuss his burdens? True, the bodies of other men walked by his side, but none was his intellectual and spiritual equal. None could see and feel and understand as he saw and felt and understood. What was it like for Christ to walk the dusty trails of his own creation, to see his divine works through mortal eyes? When did he come to know that the birds that sang music to his ears, the flowers that scented the air, the hills and valleys on which he loved to run and play, the sunsets and stars upon which he longed to gaze and ponder were his creations? He was their designer, their architect, their framer—yes, their very creator.
