“On Easter Sunday we
celebrate the most long-awaited and glorious event in the history of the
world. It is the day that changed everything. On that day, my life
changed. Your life changed. The destiny of all God’s children changed.
When I think of what the Savior did for us leading up to that first
Easter Sunday, I want to lift up my voice and shout praises to the Most
High God and His Son, Jesus Christ! The gates of heaven are unlocked!
The windows of heaven are opened! Today and forevermore, God’s grace is
available to all.”
(Elder Dieter F Uchtdorf)
“There
is nothing more universal than death, and nothing brighter with hope
and faith than the assurance of immortality. The abject sorrow that
comes with death, the bereavement that follows the passing of a loved
one are mitigated only by the certainty of the Resurrection of the Son
of God that first Easter morning.”
(Gordon B Hinckley)
