This artwork depicts the plan of salvation from its doctrinal foundation to its 2000 personal application. Starting in the center is the Creation, the Fall, Adam and Eve offering sacrifice, Abraham sacrificing Isaac, Jesus’s birth, Christ praying in Gethsemane, the Crucifixion, and the Resurrection. The story then shifts from biblical history to experiences of a specific convert—a person who has faith in Jesus Christ, repents, is baptized, receives the Holy Ghost, marries, raises a family, and endures to the end.
“Through Christ’s atonement, we can all be able to return to God’s presence,” said Yim. “Wherefore . . . he shall make intercession for all the children of men; and they that believe in him shall be saved” (2 Nephi 2:9).
