I was surprised by the story Dr. H told us today. We all have read or heard the terrible incidents that accompanied the last mortal hours of our Savior. In Matthew 27 we read of His trial before Pilate and the Jewish mob. As we were studying this chapter in class, Dr. H told us that once during Sunday school this same story was being discussed, and after reading verse 25 someone asked, “is this the reason why the holocaust happened? “ After a second or two the teacher replied, “Yes, I think so.” Dr. H was completely perplexed by this answer, how could a Latter-day Saint believe such a thing? Worst of all, a Jewish recent convert was sitting next to him as this conversation transpired.
After reflecting on this story I quickly made the resolution to redouble my efforts to be kind to others, especially those who have been wounded by life’s trials. I also thought His blood is indeed upon us, for the blood of the Atonement is upon all of us. That day the mob spoke by the power of the Holy Ghost without knowing it.
