You’re invited to remember the events of the last week of Jesus Christ’s mortal life, when
He overcame sin and death so each of us can do the same. As you learn of Him, feel
His love, and follow His example, you will find the peace, hope, and joy that comes from
being His disciple. “This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.
Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.” (John 15:12-13)
As Mary Magdalene and her companions mournfully approached the Garden Tomb, two
angels appeared to them and shared the clarion call of all Christianity:
“Why seek ye the living among the dead?
“He is not here, but is risen” (Luke 24:5–6).
This Easter season we also joyfully testify of this same eternal truth—Jesus Christ is risen.
He lives! The Savior of the world was crucified and, on the third day, rose from the dead,
“the first fruits of them that slept” (1 Corinthians 15:20). His Resurrection allows all to be
resurrected, and through His grace, we can find peace “which passeth all understanding”
(Philippians 4:7) and “be perfected in him” (Moroni 10:32).
We invite each of you during this Easter season to “seek this Jesus of whom the prophets and
apostles have written” (Ether 12:41). As you do so, we testify that your Easter celebrations
can strengthen your own faith and testimony that “death is conquered; man is free. Christ
has won the victory” (“He Is Risen!,” Hymns, no. 199).
