He is Risen


We began our lovely Easter morning at the Care Center with our friends. The Sacrament meeting was exceptional and after two wonderful speakers we had time for a few testimonies. I just had to get up. My father was the last of our parents to be with us and when he died I felt so lonely. In my nightly prayers I began to feel the power of Christ's gift of the Resurrection. He literally died that we might live again and that promise gives me comfort and peace. I am so grateful for the atonement of Jesus Christ and grateful that on Easter Morning all Christians celebrate together and remember that great gift that He only could give.

"But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept. For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive" (1 Corinthians 15:2022).
