Easter

This week I have been thinking of Easter and it's meaning in MY life. It gives me the peace and knowledge that I can be redeemed and live with my family for eternity. It is also a day when we celebrate the greatest victory, the victory over death. It is through Jesus Christ that immortality is made possible for each one of us. Death will come to each one of us but it is made sweet with the certainty of the Resurrection. I am so thankful He gave me the greatest gift of his redeeming grace and personal resurrection. I love what the First Presidency's message to the world about Easter and our Savior

"In this Easter season of the year—when we are reminded yet again of all Christ has done for us, how dependent we are upon his redeeming grace and personal resurrection,
At this Easter season of hope and renewal we testify of the glorious reality of the atonement and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ. The empty tomb brought comforting assurance and provided the answer to the question of Job, “If a man die, shall he live again?” (Job 14:14).
Because of the Savior’s resurrection we will overcome death and become the beneficiaries of His mercy and grace. In a world of trouble and uncertainty, His peace fills our hearts and eases our minds. Jesus is in very deed “the way, the truth, and the life” (John 14:6).
We give our sure witness that Jesus is the Christ. Though He was crucified, He rose triumphant from the tomb to our everlasting blessing and benefit. To each member of the human family He stands as our Advocate, our Savior, and our Friend. "
