Today in Sunday School we discussed some of the blessings that come from the Atonement. One of the comments my wife made, actually, was that because Jesus suffered the pains of all people (emotional, spiritual, physical) He is better able to plead with the Father on our behalf for mercy.

Now that, to me, means God is maybe not the liberal being many think he is... if He were perfectly willing to forgive and let sins go, why would Jesus need to plead with Him for us?
