“This much is clear then: life is not granted to us to please us or to satisfy our telestial ideas of what life should be, but rather it is to develop and refine us. In addition, the acquiring of godly light and knowledge requires an all-encompassing sacrifice, made perhaps over time, similar in our own limited sphere to the Savior’s sacrifice in his greater sphere. As he drank the cup his Father gave him, so the Saints drink what the Lord Jesus gives them. The Savior’s cup was not to be ministered to but to minister and to give his life a ransom for many (see Matthew 20:28).” Hebrews: To Ascend the Holy Mount. M.
