The Atonement of Jesus Christ is discussed in a multitude of ways in scripture: it is a cleansing, sanctifying, and healing act of His selfless love. Among those descriptions is an expression that defines the Atonement in terms of its compensating power, or the ability of the Savior to right the wrongs of life—but how exactly does this happen? In a world in which grief, unfairness, and imperfection are hallmarks, Christ’s ability to make recompense is the key to bridging our hopes and our sorrows. In The Compensating Power of Christ, discover how the Lord compensates in your own life as Brigham Young University scholar Dr. B.J. Allen shares insights from his lifelong quest to understand and harness the Savior’s compensating power.
