And what better way to know the way than to have already passed along it Himself? How, indeed, could Christ led us back to the Father if He did not know the way?

I think other scriptures needed to understand the atonement include: D&C 19:10-20, 93:1-16, 2 Ne 9, Mormon 9, Alma 36. And there are others. I believe that Jesus went through his sufferings, so he could know how to succor us. Salvation comes through a basic faith and repentance, as Alma showed in his conversion. Glory and/or exaltation then comes as we move grace from grace, receiving grace for grace. Repentance simply is our re-aligning ourselves with righteousness and Jesus, so we may have enough of the Light of Christ within us to escape hell/Outer Darkness, and to dwell in a kingdom of glory. It may be that Christ's suffering, receiving the buffetings of Satan or going through hell, was needed so that he would know how to rescue us from hell; but also know how to lead us back into the Father's presence.

It may be that Christ’s suffering, receiving the buffetings of Satan or going through hell, was needed so that he would know how to rescue us from hell; but also know how to lead us back into the Father’s presence.
