I just ran into this:

Quote:
D&C 132:60 Let no one, therefore, set on my servant Joseph; for I will justify him; for he shall do the sacrifice which I require at his hands for his transgressions, saith the Lord your God.

Is the Lord telling Joseph about the time he will "...be delivered unto the buffetings of Satan unto the day of redemption..." - the time when he will atone for his own sins? Shocked


Jules,

Thank you for inviting me to this forum.

Now to business.

When I first read this passage a long time ago, this was my feeling at the time.

Joseph will be justified for the mistakes he made and anyone who judges him too harshly will be in danger of that same judgment.

The sacrifice Joseph will make is sealing his testimony with his blood. Something that few prophets are required to do.

Just my two cents on this verse.
