description: In a world increasingly prone to doubt a foundation in Christ is the only sure basis of a durable discipleship. And for Latter-day Saints the Jesus Christ revealed through the Prophet Joseph Smith is in some very significant ways a different kind of Christ than the Jesus of modern Christianity. The Christ of the restored gospel collaborated with Heavenly Parents for our salvation even before the foundation of the world does not anything save it be for our benefit (2 Nephi 26:24) and is determined to patiently guide and nurture every one of God's children into an eternal heavenly family. Most significantly this Christ does not rescue us from a condition of original sin or depravity. Rather He is primarily a healer of the wounds incident to a long-planned sojourn one intended to immerse us in the trials pains and soul-stretching of this mortal schoolroom. He is not only the most remarkable being in the history of religious thought; He is in fact The Christ Who Heals.
