When studying about Jesus Christ we learn that he is the best man that ever lived. He is perfect in every form. He suffered and died for us willingly. He was so selfless that he volunteered to be our advocate in front of the Father on our judgment day. He did all this because he loves us. He wants to be able to understand what we are feeling and doing so he is able to help us overcome it. Christ has experienced every temptation even up until the highest degree and he overcame every one of them with strength. Because He experienced this, He is able to understand all of our pains and sorrows for he has been there. He is able and waiting to give us a step by step guide to overcome these trials as soon as we will as and are willing to listen."From studying about our Savior, we come to learn a lot about His character and what character really is. There is an excellent talk given by Elder David Bednar at BYU some years back titled "The Character of Christ". This talk truly is amazing. Today I choose to include a small exert form this talk: "Perhaps the greatest indicator of character is the capacity to recognize and appropriately respond to other people who are experiencing the very challenge or adversity that is most immediately and forcefully pressing upon us. Character is revealed, for example, in the power to discern the suffering of other people when we ourselves are suffering in the ability to detect the hunger of others when we are hungry and in the power to reach out and extend compassion for the spiritual agony of others when we are in the midst of our own spiritual distress. Thus, character is demonstrated by looking and reaching outward when the natural and instinctive response is to be self-absorbed and turn inward. If such a capacity is indeed the ultimate criterion of moral character, then the Savior of the world is the perfect example of such a consistent and charitable character."
