Mosiah 14 The Chastisement of our Peace

Abinadi quotes the words of Isaiah 53. In verses 4 and 5, we are taught that the Savior suffered our individual physical and mental pains along with our sins. The phrase that Isaiah uses: “the chastisement of our peace was upon him,” helps us to see that he stood in our place and experienced the guilt and the shame, and even the punishment or chastising for us so that “they might not suffer if they would repent.” (D&C 19:16). How much he must love us! “Oh dearly, dearly has he loved! and we must love him too; and trust in his redeeming blood, and try his works to do.” (“There is a Green Hill Far Away, #194)
