Happy Easter!

Happy Easter everybody! I just wanted to do a quick blog post to recognize the greatest event in the history of mankind. Which we celebrate today. Today we celebrate Easter which is we celebrate the resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Which made possible for all of us to be resurrected one day. This is a free gift to all people. Everybody who has ever lived on earth will be resurrected because our Savior was resurrected.

Alma 11:41-45

"41…for behold, the day cometh that ^ball shall rise from the dead and stand before God, and be ^cjudged according to their works.

42 Now, there is a death which is called a temporal death; and the death of Christ shall loose the ^abands of this temporal death, that all shall be raised from this temporal death.

43 The spirit and the body shall be ^areunited again in its ^bperfect form; both limb and joint shall be restored to its proper frame, even as we now are at this time; and we shall be brought to stand before God, ^cknowing even as we know now, and have a bright ^drecollection of all our ^eguilt.

44 Now, this restoration shall come to all, both old and young, both bond and free, both male and female, both the wicked and the righteous; and even there shall not so much as a hair of their heads be lost; but every thing shall be ^arestored to its perfect frame…

45 Now, behold, I have spoken unto you concerning the ^adeath of the mortal body, and also concerning the ^bresurrection of the mortal body. I say unto you that this mortal body is ^craised to an ^dimmortal body, that is from death, even from the first death unto life, that they can ^edie no more; their spirits uniting with their bodies, never to be divided; …”

 

Just a quick summary:

Thursday: Jesus prayed and suffered in the garden of Gethsemane to atone for all of our sins. Which makes repentance possible.

Friday: Jesus was crucified on the cross where he continued His Atonement by taking our sins upon him. He was buried in the tomb.

 Sunday: after his body laid in the tomb for three days, Christ was resurrected! His spirit and body were reunited again, never to be separated. This is what we celebrate today. “For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive” 1 Corinthians 15:22

I am so thankful for my Savior and His Atonement which made it possible for us to overcome sin through  repentance and death through resurrection.

"I witness that Jesus Christ is the Savior of the world. He suffered and died for our sins and rose the third day. He is resurrected. In a future day, every knee will bow and every tongue confess that He is the Christ. On that day, our concern will not be, 'Do others consider me Christian?' At that time, our eyes will be fixed on Him, and our souls will be riveted on the question, 'What thinks Christ of me?'"—Neil L. Andersen, "What Thinks Christ of Me?", Liahona and Ensign, May 2012
