An Angel Appears to Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane

While Jesus was praying in the Garden of Gethsemane, an Angel appeared to Him to strengthen Him.  We members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints believe that Jesus began to pay the eternal price for our sins in the Garden of Gethsemane.  This terrible suffering continued with His trial and crucifixion.  He, Jesus, suffered for each of us.  He knew that there was an eternal price to pay for sins.  We all have sinned... except Jesus.  

As the Son of God, Jesus was immortal, unless He chose to die.  He told His disciples that He came to Earth to die for all of us.  His Atonement makes repentance possible.  Therefore, if we repent of our sins, we can live with our Earthly family and our Heavenly Parents in glorified resurrected bodies in the Celestial Kingdom of our God.  Jesus' resurrection made OUR resurrection possible. So when we die, we go to Paradise or Spirit Prison.  There we rest from our trials, but worthy believers teach other spirits about Jesus and His Atonement.  Spirit Prison is also known as hell.  

To clarify, Jesus is our big brother.  He is our eldest spirit brother.  We all lived in a premortal life with our Heavenly Parents and our spirit brothers and sisters.  Jesus volunteered to be our Savior and suffer and die to pay that eternal price for our sins.  Yet when He was on Earth, He never sinned.  

When Jesus returns in glory to reign over the Earth, the righteous spirits will be resurrected, meaning they will get a glorified immortal body, and their spirit will go into that perfect body.  Then the righteous will live for a thousand years on Earth in joy and peace.  Mortals will also live in this wonderful situation.  When they get old during this Millennial period, mortals will be changed in the twinkling of an eye to immortals.  

Of course, our spirits are and always have been immortal.  We need to be thankful for the eternal nature of our future glorified resurrected bodies.  And, of course, we need to be VERY thankful for our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
