March 30–April 12
Easter
“He Shall Rise … with Healing in His Wings”
The ancient Apostles were bold in their testimonies of Jesus Christ and His Resurrection. Millions believe in Jesus Christ and strive to follow Him because of their words recorded in the Bible. Yet some might wonder, if Jesus Christ is the Savior of the whole world, then why were His eyewitnesses limited to a handful of people concentrated in one small region?
The Book of Mormon stands as an additional, convincing witness that Jesus Christ is the Savior of the world, “manifesting himself unto all nations” (title page of the Book of Mormon) and offering salvation to all who come unto Him. In addition, this second witness also clarifies what salvation means. This is why Nephi, Jacob, Mormon, and all the prophets labored so “diligently to engraven these words upon plates”—to declare to future generations that they too “knew of Christ, and … had a hope of his glory” (Jacob 4:3–4). This Easter season, reflect on the testimonies in the Book of Mormon that the power of Christ’s Atonement is both universal and personal—redeeming the whole world and redeeming you.
Its 3am I just shared this with someone who needs this so desperately . I pray they listen with an open heart and they aren’t in such a deep dark place that they can’t feel your words. Your changing many of us teaching us about Christ and his eternal power. Thank you I pray your family gets to be together soon❤️
My wife and I just did the same thing. I live in Utah, my wife is from California. She was told by her Bishop about possibly not being able to travel. We have known each other long distance since October 20, 2019. She came to Utah for a visit after Christmas. I went to California in February. We planned to get married May 8 in Draper Temple. But because of the pandemic. We were married by our Bishop on April 1st. April fool’s day as well. Because of all the craziness, just like you and your husband.
Congrats!
I hope you got my comments on An April fool’s day shotgun wedding
