While the truths revealed through temple worship are unchanging, the way our Heavenly Father reveals those truths and makes covenants with His children have changed from dispensation to dispensation. In the Bible, we see many similarities between the Tabernacle of Moses and modern-day temples, but there are also distinct differences between ancient and current temple worship. Take, for example, animal sacrifices, which were performed to foreshadow the life and sacrifice of Jesus Christ. But when Jesus Christ visited the Nephites, He explained animal sacrifice was to be replaced with the sacrifice of a broken heart and a contrite spirit (3 Nephi 9:19–20).

As part of an essay we wrote several years ago exploring what the four Gospels have to say about Jesus and suffering, we could easily have begun with any number of historical or scriptural references—from Liberty Jail and the Prophet Joseph in the winter of 1838-39 to Job, whose friends blamed his afflictions on his supposed sins, to the multiple souls described in the Gospels who were plagued by disease, misfortune, natural disasters, or simply the consequences of bad or even impetuous decisions.
