In every word and deed, Jesus Christ exemplified pure loveโwhat the Apostle Paul called charity (see 1 Corinthians 13).
At no time was this more evident than during the final hours of the Saviorโs mortal life. His dignified silence in the face of false accusations demonstrated that He โis not easily provokedโ (1 Corinthians 13:5).
His willingness to submit to scourging, mocking, and crucifixionโwhile restraining His power to end His tormentsโshowed that He โsuffereth longโ and โbeareth all thingsโ (1 Corinthians 13:4, 7).
His compassion toward His mother and His mercy toward His crucifiersโeven during His own incomparable sufferingโrevealed that He โseeketh not [His] ownโ (1 Corinthians 13:5).
In His final moments on earth, Jesus was doing what He had done throughout His mortal ministryโteaching us by showing us. Indeed, charity is โthe pure love of Christโ (Moroni 7:47).
