"I Am He Who Liveth,
I Am He Who Was Slain"
[One] single event changed the future of the world. The appearance of the Father and the Son to the young prophet ushered in the dispensation of the fulness of times. It exemplified God’s love for His children and changed the world forever. How can one know of a surety that Joseph Smith actually saw and conversed with the Father and the Son? ...The kingdom of God on earth continues to move forward with dedicated missionary and member alike having the conviction confirmed by the Holy Ghost that Joseph Smith saw God our Father and His Son Jesus Christ.

A Powerful Testimony of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ
What the Book of Mormon has to say about Easter
The Savior’s Atonement is available to each of us—always. We access the Atonement through repentance. When we repent, the Lord allows us to put the mistakes of the past behind us...The Savior felt the weight of the anguish of all mankind—the anguish of sin and of sorrow.…There are times when each of us needs “relief from feelings of guilt that come from mistakes and sins.” As we repent, the Savior removes the guilt from our souls. Through His atoning sacrifice, our sins are remitted...the Atonement is available to everyone all the time, no matter how large or small the sin, “on conditions of repentance.”

A Message of Hope in Jesus Christ | #BecauseOfHim
Jesus Christ was appointed and foreordained to be our Redeemer before the world was formed. With His divine sonship, His sinless life, the shedding of His blood in the Garden of Gethsemane, His excruciating death on the cross and subsequent bodily Resurrection from the grave, He became the author of our salvation and made a perfect Atonement for all mankind...The free gift of His great atoning sacrifice for each of us is the only way we can be exalted enough to stand before Him and see Him face-to-face.

Jesus Christ Suffered for Us All | Easter
Latter-day Saints join in affirming that Christ has “broken the bands of death” and that “death is swallowed up in victory”. Because we believe the Bible and Book of Mormon descriptions of the literal Resurrection of Jesus Christ, we also readily accept the numerous scriptural teachings that a similar resurrection will come to all mortals who have ever lived upon this earth. As Jesus taught, “Because I live, ye shall live also”.

Because of Jesus Christ, All Things Are Possible | #BecauseOfHim
I declare with joy that I am converted to the Lord Jesus Christ. I am striving to be whole in Him. I am sure that all things will be restored and healing will come, in His time, because He lives. Mary Magdalene was a woman healed of Jesus Christ...His Resurrection allowed Mary’s tears to be wiped away. Surely He will wipe away yours too. He is risen. Jesus Christ lives. Ultimately all will be healed, physically and emotionally, in Him.

He Lives–Celebrate Jesus Christ's Resurrection
If we truly seek our Lord and Savior, we shall surely find Him...He is the literal Savior of the world, the Son of God, the Prince of Peace, the Holy One of Israel, even the risen Lord, who declared: “Behold, I am Jesus Christ, whom the prophets testified shall come into the world. … I am the light and the life of the world.” “I am the first and the last; I am he who liveth, I am he who was slain; I am your advocate with the Father.”
