There must be opposition in all things: I believe the level of our post-mortal joy/glory must be balanced perfectly with the level of pain/suffering for the Lord we endured. Hence, I think the greatest reward of glory belongs to those who have suffered all and descended below all things.

I also don't think anyone becomes a God without having obtained a mortal body at some point. The Abraham scriptures about intelligences/souls/spirits organized before the world was suggest that the noble and great were Gods, by referring to them as souls (body and spirit), standing among those who were spirits, talking about GOING DOWN to prove that second group of spirits to see if they would obey in all things. The third group (not the fraction 1/3, but an uncounted third part or group of individuals), following Lucifer. I think the idea may be choosing to lay down the glorified body voluntarily to condescend to help "prove" those who had not yet attained godhood, as opposed to being separated by death involuntarily. See also the King Follett discourse? It is a fearful thing to think that all men(?) who desire to attain to that glory must walk the same path, but I think it's most consistent with scripture, and also the Lectures on Faith (also scripture, for that matter...).

I have wondered if the words "great and last sacrifice" speak to the fact that it was Jesus' great and last sacrifice on his own journey of progression...with him at last sitting down on his Father's throne to go no more out. Having purchased "his own" "body" and/or "family" with his blood. This particular, individual, Jesus Christ. Not only "a Christ," which I do currently believe to be a name/title/character in the eternal round of beings earning names and titles through a continual progression of lives and sacrifices. In the same way that the temple now and anciently is like a theatre round, with different players filling the same roles over and over, in sacred re-enactment of the eternities.

Another late-comer's two cents...
