Jesus Christ's Mission was the Atonement
Easter Message
Pres.
Russell M. Nelson
[Jesus
Christ’s] mission was the Atonement. That mission was uniquely His. Born of a
mortal mother and an immortal Father, He was the only one who could voluntarily
lay down His life and take it up again (see John 10:14–18). The glorious
consequences of His Atonement were infinite and eternal. He took the sting out
of death and made temporary the grief of the grave. (“The Mission and Ministry
of Jesus Christ,” Ensign, Apr. 2013, 34)
2 Nephi
9:7-11
7.
Wherefore, it must needs be an infinite atonement—save it should be an infinite
atonement this corruption could not put on incorruption. Wherefore, the first
judgment which came upon man must needs have remained to an endless duration.
And if so, this flesh must have laid down to rot and to crumble to its mother
earth, to rise no more.
8 O the
wisdom of God, his mercy and grace! For behold, if the flesh should rise no
more our spirits must become subject to that angel who fell from before the
presence of the Eternal God, and became the devil, to rise no more.
9 And our
spirits must have become like unto him, and we become devils, angels to a
devil, to be shut out from the presence of our God, and to remain with the
father of lies, in misery, like unto himself; yea, to that being who beguiled
our first parents, who transformeth himself nigh unto an angel of light, and
stirreth up the children of men unto secret combinations of murder and all
manner of secret works of darkness.
10 O how
great the goodness of our God, who prepareth a way for our escape from the
grasp of this awful monster; yea, that monster, death and hell, which I call
the death of the body, and also the death of the spirit.
11 And
because of the way of deliverance of our God, the Holy One of Israel, this
death, of which I have spoken, which is the temporal, shall deliver up its
dead; which death is the grave.
Hamilton and Jefferson Remind Posterity of the Proper Role of the Judicial Branch
By Harold Pease Ph. D.
Alexander Hamilton wrote that the Judiciary has no power thus is harmless, “so long as the judiciary remains, truly distinct from both the legislature and the executive.” He reasoned, that the “courts have neither force nor will but merely judgment” and cannot effectuate those judgments on its own. “Whoever attentively considers the different departments of power must perceive that in a government in which they are separated from each other, the judiciary from the nature of its functions, will always be the least dangerous to the political rights of the Constitution; because it will be least in its capacity to annoy or injure them. The executive not only dispenses the honor but holds the sword of the community. The legislator not only commands the purse but prescribes the rules by which the duties and rights of every citizens are to be regulated. The judiciary, on the contrary, has no influence over either the sword or the purse. No direction either of the strength or of the wealth of the society and can take no active resolution whatsoever. It may truly be said to have neither FORCE NOR WILL but merely judgment and must ultimately depend upon the aid of the executive arm even for the efficacy of its judgment.”
There are“several important consequences. It proves incontestably that the judiciary is beyond comparison the weakest of the three departments of power. That it can never attack with success either of the other two; and that all possible care is requisite to enable it to defend itself against their attacks. It equally proves that though individual oppression may now, and then proceed from the courts of justice, the general liberty of the people can never be endangered from that quarter, I mean, so long as the judiciary remains, truly distinct from both the legislature and the executive. For I agree that ‘there is no liberty if the power of judging be not separated from the legislative and executive powers.’” (The Federalist Papers: No. 78, Hamilton, pp. 465-466).
Thomas Jefferson warned that “the federal judiciary can become very dangerous” if they go beyond judgement. On September 11, 1804, Jefferson told a group, “You seem to consider the judges as the ultimate arbitrators of unconstitutional questions. Very dangerous doctrine indeed, and one which would place us under the despotism of an oligarchy. Our judges are as honest as other men, and not more. They have with others, the same passions for party, for power, and the privilege of their core. Their power is the more dangerous as they are in office for life and not responsible as the other functionaries are to elective control. The Constitution has erected no such single tribunal. Knowing that to whatever hands confided with the corruptions of time and party, it’s members would become despots. It has more wisely made all the departments coequal, and co-sovereign within themselves” (X22 Report, Ep. 3604b, 24 Mar. 2025, 1:01:30).
With remarkable foresight, 24 years later, Jefferson described our day and time and how through intended erosion the Judiciary could destroy the Constitution. On September 28, 1820, he said, “The germ of dissolution of our federal government is in the Constitution of the federal judiciary, an irresponsible body working like gravity by night and day gaining a little today and a little tomorrow and advancing, it’s noiseless step like a thief over the field of jurisdiction until all shall be usurped” (Ibid., 1:03:00).
A year later, in August 18, 1821, he spoke of how past practice, one small perversion at a time vying from original intent, gradual in sequence, could destroy the Constitution. The courts were charged with preserving purity of doctrine. He wrote, “At the establishment of our Constitution the judiciary bodies were supposed to be the most helpless and harmless members of the government. Experience, however, soon showed in what way they were to become the most dangerous… Unheeded by the public at large, …[their] decisions nevertheless became law by the precedent. Sapping by little and little the foundations of the Constitution and working it’s chains by construction before anyone has perceived that the invisible and helpless worm has been busily employed in consuming its substance. In truth man is not made to be trusted for life if secured against all liability to account.” Although aimed at the judicial branch this could be said of the executive and legislative branches as well. Past practice slightly altered can become a weapon, thus the enemy of original intent.
On October 31, 1823, Jefferson reminded his followers of what he had said 34 years earlier in 1789 when the Constitution was implemented . Then he “warned that the Judiciary, if given too much power, might ruin our republic, and destroy our rights. The new constitution has secured these individual rights in the executive and legislative departments, but not in the judiciary. It should have a stab of trial by the people themselves, that is to say, by jury. The judiciary of the United States is the subtle corps of sappers and minors, constantly working underground to undermine the foundation of our confederative fabric.” (Ibid., 1:04:20).
The Supreme Court must first reign in its lowest court judges which is what Chief Justice Roberts did by telling activist District Court Judge Boasberg that he “lacks jurisdiction” on Trumps deportation of Tren De Aragua and MS-13 terrorists. He needs to tell all 677 District Court Judges that their authority is within their districts only. The Executive branch must make certain its executive orders (EO) always align with laws passed by previous congresses hence, Trump went back to the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to justify his executive orders on deportation and his EO on enforcement of The Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 65(c) which mandates up-front money in injunction suits for damage caused by bogus suits that later are unconstitutional. And Congress, once again, must impeach judges that have a history of exceeding their jurisdiction and have intentionally weaponized the judicial branch against the executive branch which so many are doing now, attempting to replace executive authority with their own.
Hamilton proved right. The Judiciary has no power thus is harmless “so long as the judiciary remains, truly distinct from both the legislature and the executive branches.” But it hasn’t. Jefferson also was right. The judiciary has become very dangerous because it is infringing on the authority of the executive branch—effectively replacing it.

The Medlock Post Ep. 230: Hooray for the “Red, White
and Blue”
The Founders of the American Constitution did not establish it for the purpose of granting rights. Instead, they created a government of laws, as opposed to a government of men, with the specific aim of securing each individual’s Creator-endowed rights to life, liberty, and property. Today, Judicial Tyranny is trying to remove those natural rights and destroy the US Constitution.

Obama Created DOGE
(When you read this, you will understand why DOGE is airtight, legally, to investigate all agencies! And Obama created it! This is a COUP. Coup defined: a notable or successful stroke or move. The Trump legal team using what Obama installed as a way to defeat the deep state....oh, the irony in that!) "I came across a lawyer, Tom Renz, who actually read Trump's DOGE Executive Order and, expecting some illegal power grab, found it to be airtight. Turns out Trump and Musk didn't create anything. Obama did. Obama created United States Digital Service (USDS) in 2014. It was meant as a bureaucratic patch job to fix the Obamacare website meltdown. Fast forward to 2025. Trump rebrands it DOGE (United States DOGE Service). Keeps the acronym, keeps the funding, but gives it a whole new mission: Find the Receipts Legally untouchable because it was already fully funded and operational. Trump invokes 5 USC 3161, which allows him to create temporary hiring authorities. DOGE teams get embedded inside every single federal agency. Each team consists of a lawyer, HR rep, a zoomer nerd, and an investigator. They report to DOGE, not the agency they're embedded in. But wait, there's more! Trump invokes 44 USC Chapter 35, which governs federal IT and cybersecurity oversight. Since USDS was originally an IT oversight body, DOGE now has full access to all federal data systems. Yes, that’s right. All of them. His executive order is written to block legal challenges. Includes language that overrides conflicting executive orders. Orders every agency to comply. Refusal means they violate presidential authority. Congress can't defund it because it's not a new program, just a repurposed one. DOJ can't sue for overreach because Trump used existing laws exactly as written. Democrats trying to file legal challenges run into standing issues because DOGE operates within existing frameworks. Obama literally built the perfect Administrative (read: Deep) State IT backdoor. Trump and Musk just hacked the system and took the admin controls. Musk now has legal oversight of every major agency's internal systems. The Administrative State can't stop it without rewriting multiple federal laws. They legally outplayed the system and there’s nothing anyone can do about it. Obama created DOGE." Luann Johnson

What does it mean to ‘look unto Christ’?
What does it mean to ‘look unto Christ’?
Doctrine and Covenants 6:36 states: “Look unto me in every thought; doubt not, fear not.”
This scripture can be particularly helpful for youth in times of doubt or fear, said Young Women General President Emily Belle Freeman.
“He has overcome the world, including every doubt and fear,” President Freeman said of the Savior Jesus Christ. “If we look to Him, He will help us overcome ours.”
To Young Men General President Steven J. Lund, “look unto Christ” means to look to Him in the way one might look to a compass or landmark or road sign.
“Looking means little if we choose not to follow directions. We are truly looking to Him only when we are willing to follow His commandments,” President Lund said. “It is our hope that the youth of the Church will find peace by looking to Christ to know and keep His commandments.”
Several leaders of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints have quoted or referenced Doctrine and Covenants 6:36 in their general conference messages to explain what it means to look to Christ and the blessings that come when individuals look to Him.
To help youth and youth leaders better understand the 2025 youth theme, here are seven quotes from general conference talks about looking to Christ.
1. Satan tries to block us from looking to Christ
“Too many people consider repentance as punishment — something to be avoided except in the most serious circumstances. But this feeling of being penalized is engendered by Satan. He tries to block us from looking to Jesus Christ, who stands with open arms, hoping and willing to heal, forgive, cleanse, strengthen, purify and sanctify us.”
— President Russell M. Nelson, “We Can Do Better and Be Better,” April 2019 general conference
2. Looking to Christ helps everything align
“As we seek to purify our lives and look unto Christ in every thought, everything else begins to align. Life no longer feels like a long list of separate efforts held in tenuous balance. Over time, it all becomes one work. One joy. One holy purpose. It is the work of loving and serving God. It is loving and serving God’s children.”
— Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, “Our Heartfelt All,” April 2022 general conference
3. Look to the Savior to ‘return to the tree’
“If you desire to return to the tree and taste the fruit once again, begin by praying to your Heavenly Father. Believe in Jesus Christ and the power of His atoning sacrifice. I promise you that as you look to the Savior ‘in every thought’ (Doctrine and Covenants 6:36), the fruit of the tree will be yours once again, delicious to your taste, joyous to your soul, ‘the greatest of all the gifts of God’ (1 Nephi 15:36).”
— Elder Neil L. Andersen of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, “Fruit,” October 2019 general conference
4. Thinking about Jesus brings clarity of mind
“Our personal connection to Jesus Christ will give us the courage and confidence to move forward amid people who do not respect our beliefs or who bully us. Christ invites us to keep Him in our thoughts constantly; He tells us, ‘Look unto me in every thought’ (Doctrine and Covenants 6:36). Thinking about the Savior gives us clarity of mind to make decisions, to act without fear and to say no to what is contrary to God’s teachings. When my day is difficult and I feel like I can’t take any more, thinking about Christ brings me peace and gives me hope.”
— Sister Andrea Muñoz Spannaus, second counselor in the Young Women general presidency, “Faithful to the End,” April 2024 general conference
5. Prayer can help dispel fear
“The Lord is with us, mindful of us and blessing us in ways only He can do. Prayer can call down the strength and the revelation that we need to center our thoughts on Jesus Christ and His atoning sacrifice. The Lord knew that at times we would feel fear. I have been there and so have you, which is why the scriptures are replete with the Lord’s counsel: ‘Be of good cheer, and do not fear’ (Doctrine and Covenants 68:6). ‘Look unto me in every thought; doubt not, fear not’” (Doctrine and Covenants 6:36).
— Elder Ronald A. Rasband of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, “Be Not Troubled,” October 2018 general conference
6. ‘Hear Him’ in every thought
“I invite all of us to ‘hear Him’ in every thought and follow Him with all our heart in order to obtain the strength and courage to say, ‘No’ and ‘Get thee hence’ to all the things that might bring unhappiness into our life. If we do so, I promise that the Lord will send an added measure of His Holy Spirit to strengthen and comfort us and we may become individuals after the Lord’s own heart.”
— Elder Ulisses Soares of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, “Seek Christ in Every Thought,” October 2020 general conference
7. Look to the Savior to overcome pride
“It is easy for our pride to come between us and eternal truth. When we don’t understand, we can pause, let our feelings settle, and then choose how to respond. The Savior urged us to ‘look unto [Him] in every thought; doubt not, fear not’ (Doctrine and Covenants 6:36). When we focus on the Savior, our faith can start to overcome our concerns.”
— Elder David P. Homer, General Authority Seventy, “Trusting Our Father,” October 2024 general conference
