“those branches do not touch that root [the Atonement], if they have been cut free from that truth, there will be no life nor substance nor redemption in them.”[2] So it is that the temple will have no life in its meaning nor purpose in its application to our lives unless we can see and understand its connection to and with the Atonement of Jesus Christ. Fortunately, there are multitude of reminders, many of them symbolic, that the temple and its associated system of ordinances gives us to help us remember this sacred and vital truth.”
