The story was very touching. When I think about the Savior taking our lickings I think about how incredible the love He has for us is. How He knows us completely and understands our weaknesses and loves us all the more for them. I think about the word “succor”
From Webster’s 1828 dictionary, the word succor means, “Literally, to run to, or run to support; hence, to help or relieve when in difficulty, want or distress; to assist and deliver from suffering.”

This gives us a sense of the urgency which the word implies. It’s not merely to reach out and comfort someone, but as soon as we see a need, we run to and meet that need.

Christ succors us in many ways and in a ways including taking our lickings for us. He runs to our rescue like Tom did for jim and jim did for tom in the end.

I believe as we succor one another our weaknesses can become strengths as well.

Here’s another great article on succoring the weak and needy.
