He Lives!

Christ at Thirty-Three by Heinrich Hofmann
On Sunday we commemorate the most incredible and important event in human history: the Atonement of Jesus Christ.

Christ's gift to each one of us is the greatest of all the gifts of God.  Because He opened the door, all mankind is saved from death.  Because He opened the door, it is possible for each one of us to repent - to change and grow and progress.

If you are grateful for that gift, I hope you'll take a moment to attend Easter services on Sunday, or read the story of Easter as found in the New Testament, and reflect on what it means to you that we will all - someday - be resurrected.  I'm grateful that I know I will someday be reunited with loved ones who have passed from this life, that this life is not all there is!

There is an eternity of growth and progress available for each of us, made possible by our Savior, Jesus Christ.



Some beautiful videos about the Life of Christ are available to view for free at LDS.org.  These are short movies (Anywhere from a minute and a half to 10 minutes) that illustrate events from the Savior's life as taken from the scriptures.  Take a moment to view the Easter one this weekend.  It's beautiful, and the link is right here:

Have a good weekend and a blessed Easter.
