John Hilton III’s 5-Minute Fireside: The Living and Loving Christ

Did you know that the scriptures and latter-day church leaders mention the Crucifixion more than Gethsemane when speaking about the Atonement? In this episode of @LDSLiving’s 5-Minute Fireside series, author and gospel teacher John Hilton III suggests that we could all benefit from paying more attention to every facet of Christ’s life, including His loving sacrifice on Calvary.

Learn more about this topic from John Hilton in his new book, “Considering the Cross,” available now at Deseret Book.

Now I want to buy a necklace with a crucifixion pendant on it! Thank you John. I watch all your videos in book of mormon central and love all of them.

I am assuming you have offered some books? If not, I think you should. You are a phenomenal teacher.

I have always emphasised Gethsemane as the place where The Saviour s atonement was mainly carried out because John that's what l have been taught. I also understand that it continued on with Calvary but looking at the Institute manual it seems to me to support this idea. I seem to remember reading too in Encyclopedia of Mormonism it supports the idea that The Saviour s atonement was mainly carried out in the Garden of Gethsemane. I can't check it out because l haven't got access to it now. Thankyou so much for your insights and presentations. Really interesting and enjoyable
God bless you and all your loved ones.

For clarification, the scripture reference is John 15:13 not John 5:13 as noted in the video.

What mr. Smith said is not relevant. What is important is what Jesus Christ said. He is the Truth. Period.
