I just finished reading chapter 14 of Helaman. Samuel the Lamanite came and prophesied about the coming of Christ and how significant and important it would be for everyone.
I loved how he talked about not only the signs and importance of Christ's birth, but also of his death. Verse 15 gave some really good insight. "For behold, he surely must die that salvation may come; yea, it behooveth him and becoeth expedient that he dieth, to bring to pass the resurrection of the dead, that thereby men may be brought into the presence of the Lord."
For some reason, I really like how Samuel stated that it was "expedient" that Christ should die. That it's not a bad thing, but an important part of the plan. Jesus Christ needed to sacrifice himself in order for the plan of salvation to be fulfilled. So that we could truly come back to our Heavenly Father.
