This Easter Season

Happy Easter! 

This Easter has been more special to me than ever before. I am so grateful for this time to reflect on the wonderful message of Easter. 

We celebrate Easter because Jesus Christ was resurrected from the dead and he lives for us! He is truly the Son of God and rose from the tomb that first Easter morning. We can receive peace from the simple pronouncement in Matthew 28:6, “He is not here, but is risen.” It was the first confirmation of the Resurrection of our Savior, Jesus Christ. Through His Atoning sacrifice and Resurrection, we will all live again.


John 11:25-26
"I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die."

I have been able to find great assurance and encouragement in the knowledge we have of the Resurrection. The assurance of the Resurrection gives us the strength and perspective to endure the mortal challenges faced by each of us. It can also be a powerful influence to keep the commandments of God during our mortal lives. The assurance that the resurrection will include an opportunity to be with our family members. My testimony has been strengthened by knowing this truth. The truth of the Resurrection can take the hurt and loss of a loved one and be replaced by the anticipation of joyful reunions with loved ones.The knowledge of the Resurrection gives me the strength to carry on. Our mortal separations are only temporary. If we do our very best to obey and do better in this life, we will see our loved ones again.
