The power of Christ's atonement is that it gets me unstuck. Any time I say "I can't because..." His atonement gives Him the power, authority, and credibility to say "yes, you can"
Cleansing power — Jesus has the power to cleanse us and make us pure.
"I can't because I'm dirty" - "Yes, you can"
Healing power — Jesus has the power to heal us physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.
"I can't because I'm hurt" - "Yes, you can"
Restoring power — Jesus has the power to make right (at-one) all the wrongs of mortality.
"I can't because that bad thing happened to me" - "Yes, you can"
Identifying power — Jesus has the power to understand, empathize with, and guide us.
"I can't because no one understands me" - "Yes, you can"
Strengthening power — Jesus has the power to give us strength beyond our natural ability.
"I can't because I'm weak" - "Yes, you can"
Transforming power — Jesus has the power to change our very dispositions and natures.
"I can't because that's not who I am" - "Yes, you can"
