Jesus is important to us because through His Atonement, teachings, hope, peace, and example, He helps us change our lives, face our trials, and move forward with faith as we journey back to Him and His Father.
Explanation:
The sacrifice acceptable to God is a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise. The purpose of Hebrew rituals and sacrifices was to mediate forgiveness to the people and to restore their relationship with God. But God cannot restore the relationship if we do not come to him honestly.
