  • Jesus Christ, Condescension of

    • my Redeemer; and he shall … be born of a woman, Alma 19:13.

      • 13 For as sure as thou livest, behold, I have seen my Redeemer; and he shall come forth, and be born of a woman, and he shall redeem all mankind who believe on his name. Now, when he had said these words, his heart was swollen within him, and he sunk again with joy; and the queen also sunk down, being overpowered by the Spirit.

    • I shall take upon me flesh and blood, Ether 3:9.

      • 9 And the Lord said unto him: Because of thy faith thou hast seen that I shall take upon me flesh and blood; and never has man come before me with such exceeding faith as thou hast; for were it not so ye could not have seen my finger. Sawest thou more than this?

    • he descended below all things, D&C 88:6.

      • 6 He that ascended up on high, as also he descended below all things, in that he comprehended all things, that he might be in all and through all things, the light of truth;

    • Son of Man hath descended below them all, D&C 122:8.

      • 8 The Son of Man hath descended below them all. Art thou greater than he?

    • See also Isa. 53:2; Mosiah 14:1–3; 3 Ne. 1:13.

      • 2 For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a rootout of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.

      • 1 Yea, even doth not Isaiah say: Who hath believed our report, and to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed?

        2 For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of dry ground; he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him there is no beauty that we should desire him.

        3 He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief; and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.

      • 13 Lift up your head and be of good cheer; for behold, the time is at hand, and on this night shall the sign be given, and on the morrow come I into the world, to show unto the world that I will fulfil all that which I have caused to be spoken by the mouth of my holy prophets.
