First Presidency's Easter Message

As I was out getting my kids Easter candy and basket fillers yesterday, I found myself not focusing on what this Easter season is REALLY about. So to bring my self back and really draw on the spirit on this spacial time of year I looked up the First Presidency's Easter Message. It's short and sweet, but defiantly does the job of influencing us with the spirit of the Savior and what he has done for us!

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. In 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.

President Thomas S. Monson and his counselors, President Henry B. Eyring and President Dieter F. Uchtdorf

Great message. Thank you. It's always nice to have little reminders of the real reasons we celebrate certain holidays. I'm always so glad Easter is on a Sunday every year-for that reason. You always get the wonderful service to remind you of what you should be thinking of!
