I have always had a hard time with the concept that the Savior 'learned obedience by the things which he suffered." He was the Creator of the world and everything in it. The elements obeyed HIM. He was the God of the Old Testament who GAVE the laws. He did all that his Father asked of him long before his birth. I can understand that he learned how to succor us through having his own mortal experiences of suffering. He learned what it was like to have a physical body and pain. But "learning obedience?" I don't think so. Perhaps the scripture is indicating that he was experiencing obedience in a new way by submitting his body to his spirit. But he had ALWAYS already been completely and unfailingly obedient.
