The Atonement- Part 3- The Greatest "Nevertheless"

D&C 19:19- Nevertheless, glory be to the Father, and I partook and finished my preparations unto the children of men.
    This verse immediately follows the Lord's description of his Atoning suffering.  He described how it was more agonizing than anyone could ever endure and live.  After such an incomprehensible statement the next word the Lord uses is "Nevertheless."  What an amazing manifestation of eternal perspective.  "Nevertheless" literally means that what follows is never less important, or in other words, that what follows is of greater importance than what preceded.  So what followed this "nevertheless"?  The Lord pronouncing that "glory be to the Father".  Here the Lord once again demonstrates His infinite humility in recognizing that although he accomplished something more difficult than anyone could even imagine, still all the glory was for his Father for it was His plan and His will. In other words, even though Christ had just described himself as "God, the greatest of all" and His infinite suffering, he reiterated his prayer in the Garden, "nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done."  Never before was there a nevertheless that was more substantial and eternally necessary.
