There is no physical pain, no spiritual wound, no anguish of soul or heartache, no infirmity or weakness you or I ever confront in mortality that the Savior did not experience first.

Beware of the digital displays and data in many forms of computer-mediated interaction that can displace the full range of physical capacity and experience.
