The literal resurrection of Jesus is, of course, the subject of so many scriptures that it is settled doctrine for believers of the Bible and Book of Mormon. For us, the universal resurrection is equally certain.

I wonder if we fully appreciate the enormous significance of our belief in a literal, universal resurrection. The conviction that death is not the conclusion of our identity changes the whole perspective of our mortal life.

It affects how we look on the physical challenges of mortality. It gives us the strength and perspective to endure the mortal challenges faced by each of us and by those we love.

It signifies that mortal deficiencies are only temporary! It also gives us the courage to face our own death or that of loved ones—even deaths we might call premature.

Our belief in the resurrection also encourages us to fulfill our family responsibilities in mortality. It helps us live together in love in this life in anticipation of joyful reunions and associations in the next.

"Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do" (Luke 23:34).

We have all made mistakes that hurt our relationship with God. But Jesus suffered in Gethsemane and on the cross so we could repent and be forgiven, restoring our harmonious relationship with God. Even in His agony on the cross, the Savior prayed that those who mocked and persecuted Him would be forgiven.

How does knowing that Christ was willing to die for everyone help you see those around you differently?

"And Jesus said, Let her alone; why trouble ye her? she hath wrought a good work on me" (Mark 14:6).

A woman anointed Jesus with costly ointment. Some people were critical of the way she showed her devotion to the Savior. Christ knows that our best efforts to show our love and devotion will not be perfect. Being a devoted disciple doesn’t mean being perfect but, rather, continuously trying to be more like Jesus Christ.

What good work can you do today to show your devotion to the Savior?

"Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself" (Matthew 22:39).

Jesus Christ taught that we can make a difference when we keep the two great commandments: loving God and loving our neighbors. Christ’s life was the perfect example of how to show love for God and others. And then Christ showed the greatest love of all through His Atonement, which included His suffering for our sins, His death on the cross, and His Resurrection from the grave.

How can you show greater love to others?

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 firstfruits 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).
