In college, a teacher thought I was making up a part about Jesus sweating drops of blood. Because, I could only find it in the book of Mormon. And my class mates could not believe that because his clothes would have been very soiled if he bled at every pore.

I remember what Elder Packer taught about how only a sacrifice could be made from one able to make one, hence Jesus Christ needed to be perfect to allow the rest of us needed him as a savior so that we could repent.

You have to know that Joseph Smith is a true prophet.

A prayer was answered through a dream or vision. Where she knew what part of what Joseph faced, in her dream she called out and realized how she needed God. Where much is given much is required. If that is true, then he needed it, and when she testified, and many of us present knew it was true.

Joseph Smith told of things he knew not believed or hoped.

Joseph Smith is so much like the Savior in that they came from a very humble begining.

When missionaries tell that Joseph saw God, there is an incredible feeling, and others present agree they have felt similarly.

Main function of prophet is not to forsee, but to expound.

"Men need to be transfigured to see things and some claim to see things that others do not. So see glimpses, opposed to one who us ordained to be a seer. As an ordained minister we can see like others, but few are called and expected to report.A revelation makes known something unknown or which has been previously known by man and taken from his memory."

Joseph was a revealing conduit. He has not only endured things. But, he did it well.
