The Savior as Our “Elder
Brother”
“... We can understand
why some Latter-day
Saints have tended to focus on Christ’s Sonship as opposed to His Godhood. … [We] can relate to Him as a child, as a Son,
and as a Brother because we know how that feels. ... And so in an attempt to draw closer to Christ and to
cultivate warm and personal feelings toward Him, some tend to humanize Him,
sometimes at the expense of acknowledging His Divinity. …
Elder M. Russell Ballard
(1928- )
