In every word and deed, Jesus Christ exemplified pure loveβwhat the Apostle Paul called charity (see 1 Corinthians 13).
At no time was this more evident than during the final hours of the Saviorβs mortal life. His dignified silence in the face of false accusations demonstrated that He βis not easily provokedβ (1 Corinthians 13:5).
His willingness to submit to scourging, mocking, and crucifixionβwhile restraining His power to end His tormentsβshowed that He βsuffereth longβ and βbeareth all thingsβ (1 Corinthians 13:4, 7).
His compassion toward His mother and His mercy toward His crucifiersβeven during His own incomparable sufferingβrevealed that He βseeketh not [His] ownβ (1 Corinthians 13:5).
In His final moments on earth, Jesus was doing what He had done throughout His mortal ministryβteaching us by showing us. Indeed, charity is βthe pure love of Christβ (Moroni 7:47).
