Last Easter, my mother-in-law sent the family a video called The Awful Arithmetic of the Atonement.  It intrigued me due to the fact that I was told he uses beautiful artwork to help portray his message.  But I saw how lengthy it was, and honestly, I wasn’t sure if I would take the time to watch it.  I didn’t completely rule it out, I could just tell that it was not a priority for me.

But I figured it was probably a good video, so I forwarded it to my mom in case she wanted to watch it, and then I forgot about it.

A few days later, she asked me to send it to the whole family.  She had watched it and LOVED it!  She could not say enough good things about it, which interested me more!  But… an hour long video???  I wasn’t sure when I would make the time to watch it.  So instead, I forwarded it to my relief society sisters and my fellow homeschooling moms.

Apparently, I was more than happy to spread it around, but still, I didn’t think I’d get it watched before Easter, and I was right.

Fast forward a few weeks, Easter was long over and the thought of watching that video still lingered in my mind.  I finally turned it on, and…

My whole world changed that day.

My heart was touched, and I have never been the same.

I love Jesus deeper.

I feel His love more completely.

I stand all amazed.

And I am so grateful for the process it took to get me to finally watch that video, and thank you to the man who created it.  I loved it so much, I watched the whole thing again 6 months later.

Instead of trying to write out some profound thoughts about it, I want to just straight up share it with you and invite you to use one hour of your life to understand Jesus and His atonement more.

I watched it after Easter last year, so I guess it’s only fitting that I share it with you after Easter this year.  Haha!

You can watch it below or click this link to view it on YouTube.  Or, it’s easy to find by searching “The Awful Arithmetic of the Atonement”.

Do not let “an hour long video” deter you.  If you want to think of it as a podcast, you can listen to it as you fold laundry or something, though he does use a lot of helpful visuals that you may want to at least glance at.

So without further ado, I give you, The Awful Arithmetic of the Atonement:

Let me know if you watch this, and tell me what you learned!  What stood out to you the most?

Jesus is risen, His love for you and me is unfailing.  I love Him, and I love you!

Empowering you to embrace your agency and liberate yourself through conscious choice!

Here’s a hint about one way I’ve changed since watching this video.
