Alma 7:11-13
11 And he shall go forth, suffering pains and afflictions and temptations of every kind; and this that the word might be fulfilled which saith he will take upon him the pains and the sicknesses of his people.
12 And he will take upon him death, that he may loose the bands of death which bind his people; and he will take upon him their infirmities, that his bowels may be filled with mercy, according to the flesh, that he may know according to the flesh how to succor his people according to their infirmities.
13 Now the Spirit knoweth all things; nevertheless the Son of God suffereth according to the flesh that he might take upon him the sins of his people, that he might blot out their transgressions according to the power of his deliverance; and now behold, this is the testimony which is in me.

General Young Men President, Steven J. Lund, told the story of his son, Tanner, who taught others a timeless lesson in finding joy in Christ shortly before cancer claimed his young life. What did Tanner do?
One Sunday, 12-year-old Tanner climbed out of bed and dressed himself. The devoted deacon was determined to fulfill an assignment to pass the sacrament. His mother assured him it was not necessary. He could stay home and rest.
“Yes,” said Tanner. “But I see how people look at me when I pass the sacrament. I think it helps them.”
That day, every eye in the chapel was on Tanner as he performed his sacred Aaronic Priesthood duty.
“Somehow, Tanner expressed a silent sermon as he solemnly, haltingly moved from row to row, his bald head moist with perspiration, representing the Savior in the way that deacons do. His once indomitable deacon’s body was itself a little bruised, broken and torn, willingly suffering to serve by bearing the emblems of the Savior’s Atonement into our lives.”
