This is the classic talk given by W. Cleon Skousen at the request of the Dallas Texas Mission President in December 1980. He speaks to these missionaries on the topic of the Saviors role in the creation and his crucifixion. Brother Skousen explains how Elder John A. Widstoe taught him these principles while on his mission in Great Britain in 1932. He talks about the great building blocks of the Universe: Intelligence and Matter.

Brother Skousen recorded in his journal, “There was such a marvelous spirit at the conference that I felt impressed to speak on the Atonement instead of the Christmas Story.

This discussion culminates in a wonderful perspective of the Master's love for each of us; His sacrifice and atonement; and how important our eternal lives are to Him.
