Panacea

The core message of Sister Carole M. Stephens' talk, The Master Healer, was that Jesus Christ could heal all our suffering, explicitly listing the pain caused by the realities of life, the sinful behavior of others, and our own sins. One of the great things about the Atonement is that it is a panacea. Not matter what our problems are, Jesus Christ can help us. Whether our problems are great or small; natural, self-inflicted, or inflicted on us by others, the solution is to turn to Christ. He is the Master Healer. His Atonement is a cure for all our mortal and spiritual ailments. No wonder Sister Stephens reminded those of us who suffer to turn to Him and to build "a bedrock understanding of the doctrine of Christ." Many suffer more than they need to. All who suffer alone suffer more than they need to. Jesus Christ can help us face our afflictions, no matter what our afflictions are.
