He Lives

First Presidency Shares Easter Message - In recognition of the Easter season, the First Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints issued the following Easter message:

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. I n 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.

I am so grateful to know that our Savior lives and that he is our Redeemer. I am blessed to know that we will all be resurrected and that he died for us that we might live with our Heavenly Father again someday. I love my Savior and I am grateful for his sacrifice that he took upon himself the sins of the world and died for us on the cross. I know that families can be together forever and I am especially grateful for that knowledge today.
