True Dedication
This week, we're learning about the final days of Jesus' life, and one idea that has stuck with me so far is that Jesus Christ didn't really want to go through with The Atonement (and who could blame Him?), yet He went ahead with it anyway, even though it was painful. That's true dedication. Most people can muster up the courage to overcome adversity to accomplish something they really want to do, but our Savior showed great determination by overcoming difficulties in order to do something that He would rather not have had to do. I think He would have avoided it, if He could have, but He saw it through, largely because we needed Him to. Christ wasn't enthusiastic about the idea of The Atonement, but He was devoted to helping us, and going through with The Atonement, despite not wanting to, demonstrated a strong sense of dedication.

He was not enthusiastic about the suffering He had to endure, but He was enthusiastic about saving us. He asked that He not have to drink the bitter cup if it were possible, but I think that meant if it were possible to save mankind without it. He would not abandon His Father's will or the salvation of His brothers and sisters.
