11. “Jesus was the only one
who could offer such an
infinite atonement,
since He was born of a
mortal mother and an
immortal Father.
Because of that unique
birthright, Jesus was an
infinite Being”
Russell M Nelson
Ensign 1996
• no end to the number of
people it will save
• no end to the immense
suffering he endured
• no end to it's scope-it was
done ONCE for ALL
• no end to the worlds that he
created that benefit
• no end to any human scale of
measurement or mortal
comprehension
without an
end
Infinite Atonemen
