curved - into a mere comma

Therefore, as this Easter Day draws to a close, how fitting that we contemplate atoning Jesus - bending and curved in Gethsemane. His bleeding curvature transformed the grammar of death. Until Gethsemane and Calvary, death was a punctuating, rigid exclamation point! Then death, too, curved - into a mere comma!


Neal A. Maxwell (1926 – 2004) was an apostle and a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints from 1981 until his death. "Take Especial Care of your Family", Ensign May 1994 p. 91 Mark 14:35,36
