The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints celebrates Easter with the rest of the Christian world this weekend, remembering the Atonement and Resurrection of Jesus Christ.
The Church’s First Presidency released this Easter message:
Of all the tests we face, none hurts more than the death of a loved one. Through the Resurrection of Jesus Christ all are delivered from death and all will rise in the resurrection. And by the Atonement of Jesus Christ, all may gain peace in this life, be washed clean from the sorrows of sin, and have hope of a glorious resurrection with the just.
At this Easter season we give our sure witness that Jesus is the Christ, the Redeemer of all mankind. Because of His atoning sacrifice, He stands as our Advocate and Savior. Though He was crucified, He rose triumphant from the tomb to our everlasting blessing and benefit.

Easter is one those days when you're almost forced to take stock of yourself, of your relationship with Jesus Christ and of your progress, or lack of same.
ReplyDeleteYes, I may be an illegally parked car in the cup-de-sac of life. But the message of hope and an understanding of the plan of salvation does shine light on even one such as I.
AMEN, LL! Today is a day we all take stock. I have much to do to prepare and can no longer put off all that I must do.
